My friend was talking to me about how his grandmother is turning 98 and she's about to die. His mom is crying nonstop and his whole family is pretty torn up. I guess I never really thought about it, but I've never been sad when anyone died. My grandmother and both of my grandfathers died, and I didn't even care. When my friend's dad died I went to the funeral and didn't feel a thing. I'm thinking about it right now, and even if my dad died, I don't think I'd shed a single tear. I have 6 really close friends I talk to everyday, but I don't think I would be devestated or anything if they died tomorrow. Yes I would miss them but I don't think I would be torn up like a 'normal' person would. My mom is the only person I can think of who I would be devestated of they died. Is this normal???
if you aren't really close to someone, then it's not a surprise if you don't care too much. you would be really devastated if your mom died, so it's not like you don't have the capacity to feel. i don't think that you need to torture yourself over this. if you really think that you have a problem, then see a therapist.
Your not alone. I've never cried for anyone. I feel nothing for them, just like "hmm, wonder what's that's like" and then I'm over it. At the funerals everyone is upset so I just look at the ground. But yeah, I don't get it. Lucky. Bastards are gone!
