Is it normal i feel excited about people dying

I am not sure why but I always feel a bit happy at the idea of people I am close to dying. When I was a kid and my parents were late and I considered the possibility they had died, it almost excited me, despite the fact I love both of them. I do not want to kill them or anyone myself, but it almost seems relieving for them to be gone. I do not really feel sad at the prospect of anyone dying and the experiences I have had with people dying have not really upset me. I do feel guilt about having these thoughts/hopes. Is there something wrong with me? Any suggestions of why this could be?

    Has anyone that you were really close to died before? Or were those experiences that didn't upset you with people you weren't so close with?

    I don't think it's that abnormal. Tbh, I can kind of relate. But I think the reality of someone close to you dying, would feel very different to the feelings you have just thinking about it.

    But if one of your parents did die, say, and a year later you still hadn't been upset at all... then that would be strange.

    Maybe your life is too ordinary and you wish something different would go on in it?

    Be a mortician. You can help dead people get to heaven.

    You might wanna talk to a therapist to help you sort those feelings out.

    I don’t know. Can you elaborate? What do you feel when you see dead people?

    Your life is boring and deep down inside you want to die but express it in terms of liking it when someone else dies. It like holding on to a grudge and drinking poison and hoping the other person dies.

    You will feel very differently when one of your parents do die. Do you want people to feel sorry for you or something? Do you just crave pain? Or are you just bored?

    I can speculate, but really this is more dependent on your personal feelings. Only you can answer why it would elate you. The only useful information I can offer is to not shame yourself for a feeling and instead explore why in depth. Often relief at the death of loved ones is linked to an end of suffering, or freedom from burden of obligations. Sometimes people look forward to death as a road to a better and more authentic existence. I don't share this kind of optimism, but that doesn't mean I can't imagine it. Find what rings true and go from there.
