My father almost died and i didn't cry. Everyone else around me cried and seemed to have lost all hope while i just sat there staring into the air. Someone took notice to this and gave me a nasty look, like the looks of disappointment, i can't describe it. I was thinking that "shit i need to hide cause now someone notices my weird behaviour". My father is a good man but we haven't kept in touch very much but neither has it been with the rest of my family. They didn't have much contact with him either. I wonder why i reacted differently than the others. To make this sound better, i had hopes that he'd be alright. He didn't die. Is it normal that i reacted differently?

    Aww, I'm glad he didn't die. *pap pap*

    I remember when my mom's friend passed away. We were all so close. Her daughter and I were extremely close friends, too! So, when we went to her veiwing, everyone shed into tears. I just stood there emotionless and looked as I went up to the lifeless body. I was like, "Oh, shit! I think people can see me. Alright, time to put my sad face on!" 'cause I knew my mom's friend's daughter was watching me and I knew what was going on inside her head: "Why the hell isn't she sad?" Nah, I'm just kidding.
    So anyway, I just put on a slight pout and slanted my brows a bit. Then I thought, "I know I'm sad on the inside, but my outside's not reacting to any of this."

    And, that's my Emotionless Story.

      I haven't the faintest fuckin' idea. Jk, no they just genuinely thought he was going to die. They just seemed to have lost all hope.

        I'm a nurse so I've seen a lot of people die, once we had this old guy who got pneumonia, everyone said he was going to die and I was like "no way, he'll pull through" and guess what he did.

    Also when your brain is hit with something with such emotion it isn't able to process it fast enough so by the time your brain has processed it enough to cry you may have already come to terms with it. Therefore never cry

    Everyone grieves differently. I remember my cousin passing away and everyone was crying when they heard the news and I was just emotionless. But when i went to the funeral that's when everything sank in and I couldn't stop crying. Sometimes it just gets processed differently, doesn't mean you don't care. you know?

      Meh, i wouldn't compare a death of a cousin to a death of a father equally.
