Is it normal that i don’t find death upsetting?

I don’t find it upsetting when people I know die or when I hear about death. I’ve had several family members die in the past, though none were in particularly tragic circumstances, but I found that it just didn’t affect me at all.

I’ve been like that for as long as I can remember. When I was about 10 or 11, my grandma died and I can remember sitting in the church for her funeral and pretending to cry so my family wouldn’t think it was odd that I wasn’t upset.

I didn’t feel any deep connections with anyone I’ve known who died and I just kind of look at it as one less person to have to visit and buy presents for.

    • I don’t believe in Heaven or Hell or anything like that. I think when people die, they’re just gone.

        If thats the case with you I would expect you to care MORE than religious people. Religious people always comfort themselves by saying "he has gone home to the lord" or some dumb shit.

    That's kinda jacked up, man. I'm not trying to be harsh, but damn, kid. Do you have some sort of neurological condition by any chance? No offense, but I don't think your response is normal.

    • No, I’m not autistic or anything because I don’t have any of the other signs and I’ve never struggled with social interactions or stuff like that.
