Is it normal to almost never feel sad?

My grandparents died and my parents cried but me... Not a tear. Dog died. Parents cried but me. Nope. Great grandparents died. Did I cry? nope. I rarely even feel sad about it. I did love our dog though.... The things is that I never cry about death but sometimes I cry about other things although it is rare. IIN?

Is It Normal?

  • A lot of people mourn in their own way, it just takes time. Personally I mourn by getting hammered and reading at the library.

  • Poisonflowers- I cry over stupid things like anger over being busy or stressed. Really just being stressed.

    • Being stressed out is a bad way to be, especially if it's for a prolonged time. It can take such a toll mentally. Is there any way you could take a break? Sometimes, being very stressed can cause depression or other effects on your emotional state/wellbeing, such as feeling like you can't express emotion. Hope things get better and hang in there.

  • Have you always felt like this?

    You said that you do cry, though rarely. What makes you cry?

  • I'm sorry, their is nothing wrong with showing emotion. Are you void of feeling, or burying them?

  • My step mom mourned my dad's death by doing drugs, partying, and moving her new 27 year ols boyfriend into my dad's house. It could be worse.

  • How do you feel then? Apathetic? Are your emotions not very strong?

  • I think you (unlike most people) are comfortable with the concept of death.
