Hey, I have a similar thing.. Not so much now, but a lot of times I used to cry like crazy when I thought about someone I love dying, mainly my mum.. But gradually, I started to feel that I was grieving for their sadness and loneliness (or my idea of that, I don't know how they really felt). This could also happen with fictional characters. As a child, I would cry sometimes for no apparent reason, which people thought was strange, but it was because the world suddenly seemed too beautiful, and I was afraid the moment would be lost forever, it felt so precious. Sometimes I would get overly attached to some object, which took on a special significance. I don't fully understand it. But I don't think it matters what people think, the idea of 'normal' is only an idea. I'm 38 now, and I don't feel very deeply most of the time. It's as if, when it comes to feelings, I'm either all or nothing, and I would like to even it out. Don't worry, you are who you are and that's who you should be! Have you tried writing or drawing when you feel like that? I find it very helpful to do that. All the best
I can't handle death at all - please help?
