I'm in college now, but ever since about fifth grade I realized I have no feelings to people close to me, I realized this because my grandfather died and at his funeral, I wasn't sad, at all. I don't hate them or anything like that, I just feel nothing. My sister gets very frustrated with me because she thinks I don't care about her, even though she's not wrong, it makes me feel like an awful person. Is this normal?

    Not everyone gets upset about grandma and grandpa. Although we love them sometimes we don't often get too close to them.

    I can't really diagnose you over the internet but i'd say there is a better chance you are repressing your feelings and don't even know about it rather than you just don't care.

      Maybe, but he's been dead for like 15 years now, Im not knowledgeable about mental things or repressed memories but Its to all my family and my friends. Like I said, I feel nothing and sometimes I feel like there's something wrong with me, like I'm some awful thing, I don't love my family, I've never been in a relationship, I'm 24 and feel like I'm just going through the motions of life.
      Do you think I should see someone? Like a shrink or smth?
