Is it normal to not feel any emotional attachment to anyone?

Ya see, I try to feel sad when a very close relative died he was like a second father to me yet no tears fell, no sadness felt. I don't know why but when I was told he died I was like "Everyone dies at a certain time" then that was it. Whenever I try to remember past events like parting with friends and same things I never felt sad or anything, I never even cried in every graduation I experienced nor do I feel sorry for a friend that has problems. Whenever they tell me their problems I am like "Don't worry about it, everything has solutions" or anything that sounds the same just to not be a bad friend, even though I just got these words from the tv or from other people. Though I don't know but for some reasons I pity cute animals which are killed, but never bothered about a person stabbed with his guts coming out from his side running outside or a group of people dying in some calamity or even a child being tortured or abused. I think I'm more attached to anime and other animals in the animal kingdom rather than my own specie. Most of the time I say "It's just like that" or "Humanity deserves it anyway" or "Why not just do the same thing, that the criminal did to the victim"

    I wouldn't say it's normal to feel nothing at all. Have you always felt this way?

      Ever since I can remember. I just feel angry if somethings don't go my way, but even so i would just forget about it after a short while and don't care about it anymore. Or feel lonely if I don't get what I want but the same as always in a span of not more than 5 minutes or so, i just don't care about it anymore.

    I wouldn't say it's just like me, but the part on pitying animals more than humans is what I get.

    I have a bit of an under-active limbic system myself. At least try to have some compassion for preschool kids.

      My expression of pity and compassion is like "Poor thing, it would be better if it happened to others who deserve it" then go back to my business.
