I'm nearly 16

Answer 1

It is bothering you my friend. Just in a different way.

Answer 2

I am a pretty caring person, and for a long time I worried about not having any feelings when someone dies. I don't know that I am over it, but I just learned to live with it. I don't get bothered by death. I don't go to funerals because it seems so fake. After time I realized that I am just that way. Oh well.

Answer 3

When I get very depressed I feel emotionally absent. It can be hard to recognize depression in yourself. You should talk to a school counselor or a parent/guardian to get help finding a therapist. You don't have to be crazy to go to a "shrink" - it is an honest and objective person to talk to, and probably 80 percent of people you've met have talked to one at some point. Really, I understand where you are coming from painfully too much. Get help.

Answer 4

I guess you've just given up on death really is. For example, someone who hasn't experienced the death of someone for a long time will have a greater and more dramatical reaction to death. You, however, probably find death more "bearable" so death comes a little bit easier for you. Me, well, death is pretty scary to be honest.

Answer 5

i no your not a bad person but death hits people differently. if you didnt cry im sure your emotion did change even if just a little. sometimes it mite even be better if you dont cry and just remember the good stuff i no you said no to but it mite hit you. you never no maybe oneday youll just be walking around like anyother day and just berst out crying but if you do i garenty you will feel better after.

ps im really sorry :(

pss i no i cant spell

Answer 6

i see ... well im 14 but it may be that you have had bad things happen in your past and you dont show emotions anymore. You do care but you dont show them. Ther is NOTHING wrong with you, it's just the way yuo handle bad situations. You are deffentally (sorry, can't spell!) no a bad person either. Sorry for the losses...♪

Answer 7

maybe thats a good thing. not thinking about it and putting it out of your mind. we know they mean something to you, but maybe you realize that crying and sulking over them wont make them come back, or take you anywhere better. just keep a smile on your face, and you can get through anything if you dont let people or things bring you down.
happy holidays!

Answer 8

I think you never made a really strong bond with them. Kinda like in stories when a 3 year olds mother dies.

Answer 9

maybe you are just able to accept what happens and move on easily. thats not always a bad thing because im sure your friend and your dad would not want you to be depressed about their death.

Answer 10

hi
i'm really sure now that you are a such good person.
maybe, you didin't feel sad or you didin't cry because inside of your sweet heart you believe that they still alive.
you are just so sad that you didin't cry.
there is no matter with you.
bye bye
:-)
