Is it normal i don't ever miss family/friends but i do miss my relationships?

I've recently realized i'm the type of person to not miss my family or friends at all. When I see them, I see them. When I don't, I don't really think about them much.
But when it comes to guys i've had a relationship/fling/thing with I think about them a lot. I miss them a lot and whatever it was we had depending on how long it lasted. Even if I/they ended it, it hurts for us not to speak much if at all. On the other hand with friends I can go without speaking to them for weeks and feel nothing....Is it normal?

    I think it's kinda sad really. When a person is lonesome and heartbroken after a romantic relationship ends who's still around to pic up the pieces? Friends and family of course are the one's a person can count on the most. It's really shitty that they end up taking a backseat to the douche bags.

    • Most of the time I pick up my own pieces but my family is there to talk to when I need them. Friends are there for fun, I tell them some things but I leave the deeper things for my sister...doesn't mean I miss her when I don't see her though.

    I'd say this is normal. One would only really miss their family if they were REALLY close, closer than even your best friend for life who you share everything with. For me, everyone was always doing their own thing and being different. Where was a gamer to relate to someone who listened to bad rap, a bookworm and one who kept in touch with annoying popular music? Online gaming was a god send.

    Anywho, relationships certainly bring out much stronger emotions, especially when they end so I can see this being very normal. I personally don't like going weeks without talking to friends though, at least really good ones.
