Is it normal to be unsympathetic to my friends?

Basically, even though I really love my friends and family I feel although I wouldn't care if they died. It hurts me that I can't feel sad about it. I can't cry and I know I probably wouldn't. I'm horrible at being sympathetic in general too. If someone is injured or is going through a tough time I pretend to comfort then when I really don't understand the big deal. Is it normal to be very unsympathetic such as not caring in the deaths of family and friends?

    Well, I'd rather be me than someone who drags themselves through life glitzy cause someone died. It's death, so what.
    And it's hardly self-centred. My death's no better than yours. I wouldn't care if I died tomorrow, I can't avoid it. I don't see why people have to fear it so much, treat it as the worst possible event and waste their time missing dead ones. They aren't 'missing life,' they would've died later if not when they did.

    I used to feel like that when I was younger . I didn't understand death until I got older and year after year kids were constantly dieing that I went to school with some I new closer then others but it made me realize that that could be someone I really love And it death was serious. I still don't feel that bad for people who have problems and complain about them everyone has problems no one wants to hear about it lol

    I'm similar. I couldn't care about my friends or family dying. I'd miss them, certainly, but it wouldn't be tragic at all..
    I view death as a part of life: you trip, eat, get a paper cut, shave, die: it's nothing huge for me.
