Is it normal that i can't cry?

So for quite a while now, it's been just about IMPOSSIBLE for me to cry. Probably 1-2 years now. Not even the saddest events could make me cry: my dad having cancer, my girlfriend (that I loved very much) breaking up with me, nothing! All I could ever do was tear up, but i really wanted to cry, to get it all out. Is this normal...?

    I think it is normal when you've been passing through a lot of pain. It's like being numb after such ammount of pain, no matter what, but I'm sure it will go away with time and a better situation in your life. I guess I don't need to tell you that I got the same thing.. haha

    If there is a tear on my face
    It makes me shiver to the bone
    It shakes me, Babe
    It's just a heartache that got caught in my eye
    And you know I never cry, I never cry

    Sometimes I drink more than I need
    Until the TV's dead and gone
    I may be lonely
    But I'm never alone
    And the night may pass me by
    But I'll never cry

    Take away, take away my eyes
    Sometimes I'd rather be blind
    Break a heart, break a heart of stone
    Open it up but don't you leave it alone

    'Cuz that's all I got to give you
    Believe me Babe, it ain't been used
    My heart's a virgin, its never been tried
    And you know I'll never cry
    And you know I'll never cry
    And you know I'll never cry
    Never cry, I'll never cry

    Break a heart, break a heart of stone
    Open it up but don't leave, don't you leave me alone
    'Cuz that's all I got to give you
    Believe me Babe, it ain't been used
    My heart's a virgin, its never been tried
    And you know I'll never cry
    Never cry
    I'll never cry

    Crying is a clensing of the soul. It's really good for u that's y our bodys force us to cry wen need be. U may be afraid to reveal that type of emotion. U cud have sociopathic traits. U need to address the fact if u can feel any other emotions ie remorse, happiness, fear and if u can't feel these emotions then u are what pyschologists call a sociopath. That is common but not typically accepted by society.

    My dad had cancer and I didn't cry either, when my boyfiend broke up with me I didn't cry either. I don't think it is that you can't cry, it just takes more hurt for you to cry. Beleive you and me, you can cry, just not as easily as others.
