  • maybe you're just not coping the right way, or maybe they weren't that close to you.

  • Ive never shed a tear in my life for some reason, my mum said when i was a baby i would make the noises, but never any tears, i just made noises no tears though. And yet, my eyes tell me something is amiss, when someone cooks onions. I dont cry, they just get watery.

  • It depends, really.

    If you just don't cry, it is normal. If you don't feel sad, it is not.

  • I have never cried when anyone in my family died. I really cried when my dogs died.

  • There is no "right" way to cope with tragedy. Everyone deals with distress differently especially in the moment. Many people suppress so that they can function in a time when they may be needed or when things are stressful, just make sure you let out that emotion one way or another eventually, if that person did indeed mean a lot to you, or you could walk away with emotional habits that are really hard to deal with.

  • Wow to not cry when a person in your family dies that kinda wired but I don't think that's abnormal maybe you just don't feel for them.
