Is it normal that i don't care about others?

A girl I really like called me on the phone. That should be one of those things that make you nervous. All I thought when the phone rang was 'Ugh, why is she calling?'. She called me because she broke up with her boyfriend, and I tried to comfort her, but she noticed how bad I was at it because I didn't really care.
I get annoyed by people, even those I think I care about. I didn't cry at my father's funeral, even though everyone did. I didn't care I lost touch with my high school friends, even though they all seem to still hang out.
I get annoyed when people talk and whine.
I try to do good things, like visit people at retirement homes and orphanages, volunteer for medical assistance and collect money for children's hospitals. But only because they are strangers. I don't seem to care for the people I know. Is that normal? What's wrong with me?

Is It Normal?

    Interesting - we're all a bit Like that,but you really need to realise eventually you'll be treated how you treat others,not right now but in the long run!!
    You'll be a very lonely person

    Do you think it could be fear at getting too close to people, so you block them out and hold them at arm's length? Something you don't have to do for strangers, because they're already distant.

    You are insensitive. Or maybe you don't want to deal with feeling negative emotion. As long as it isn't ruining your life or hurting others, I don't see it as am issue. Maybe you just get over things easy and don't like drama.

    You seem too arrogant for your own good. It's one thing to prefer your own company, but another entirely to not give a shit about the feelings of people who obviously care about you. What makes you so superior to them that you look down your nose at their problems?
