In situations where I formerly would've felt sadness, I now just become irate. I become uncontrollably pissed off if it's something completely out of my control and I have no one to blame for it, such as a family member coming down with a serious disease.

I don't even know where along the line this happened. I don't really get sad and cry anymore when these things happen. I just get insanely pissed and want to destroy everything in my path. The only time I do cry is when I've bottled everything up and I've finally hit my limit. Otherwise, it is anger in place of what should be sadness.

All I can think of is that at one point, I viewed crying and sadness as weakness, and anger as strength, and reconditioned myself to react this way. Now it is an automatic response.

    Yes, what you're feeling can be normal, and it depends on the situation of course.

    I think we’re looking at a serial killer in the making.
