Have you ever lost any close or someone you knew but didnt care, or just wasn't all that bereaved?

Seriously it happened to me twice. First with the passing of my grandfather, then my uncle.

wtf is wrong with me? :S is this normal?...

There are three reasons as to why you did not care:

1) You and your grandfather/uncle were not personally close.

2) You accept death in some kind of superhuman stride.

3) Something the **** is wrong with you.

I remember when my grandfather died when I was about 6 or 7 and my parents trying to very gently break it to me and wanting to be supportive and all and not really feeling anything except relief that I wouldn't be hugged by him anymore, as he smelled really bad.

Yea, I lost a lot of people I knew so it's just something I got/get used to, as sick as that sounds.

YEP! ^.^

There's nothing wrong with it. I just accept death and welcome it. Many people tend to mourn over it, but I say be joyful. Atleast they don't have to put up with life anymore. When I was around 7 or 8 my Uncle died and I didn't shed a single tear, but my brother that always got wipped by him was screaming with tears. Right now my grandma is in the hospital and I'm not really caring. Don't even think I'll go see her. (I'm Not Evil!!!!) Also, my great gandma died 2 months ago and I didn't go to the funeral. The whole family thinks there's something wrong with me. :P

Same thing with 9-11 (Maybe I shouldn't bring this up...). I was 9 when it happened, and I didn't really care. The only reason why I continued watching the news was because it sounded interesting {IOW: awesome} and I wanted to see more footage of it. But over time (minutes) I got annoyed and wished people would shut up and move on. Even still, peopel are talking about it. I don't understand why. It's Been Five Years, GET OVER IT!!!

P.S. Were we even given any evidence allowing us to accuse someone of this "tragedy"? 'Cause I don't recall seeing a video tape pf 3 guys in hoods bragging about blowing up two buildings. (seriously)

How did U feel about 9-11 bOrk?

Not close, but related to the family.

Everyone was crying in every corner of the house. I was seeing Blade Runner.

No. But that's because I don't have anyone I'm close to.

My father died a few weeks before I was three. Being only three years old I never really had the chance to get to know him and so Ive never really had many strong feeling about it. This seems to have immunised me to the effects of grief as my grandfather died a few years ago and I felt nothing for him. I dont think its strange to not feel anything when people die, death is just the end of life and there is nothing to fear from it.

Just because they're family doesn't mean we're close. I was quite upset when my Mom's mother died because we were always good friends, but my Dad's father is in the hospital right now and I'm barely even concerned about it. He's a very selfish man and I've never really liked him.

The only reason that it would upset me is because I know that some of the rest of my family would be hurt by it if he died.

I always care. I recently lost my mom on February 15 and it made depressed for about a week. I'm doing much better now that she is resting in peace.

I came back from a school trip - kind of like a week abroad thing - and upon my return, I was told that my grandmother had died.

For some bizarre reason, I took it surprisingly well. :?

EDIT: that was many years ago, not recently.

Well, kind of. I was 7-9 years old when my great grandmother I died. Great Grandmother, I believe. She was like 93, I was at the funeral and I didn't cry, I didn't kind of care. I didn't really know the meaning of death at that time...

My grandmother died about 10 years ago and my grandfather died last year. I didn't really feel anything. I just though, "That's a bummer." I didn't really say anything because my dad told us at the dinner table and he was looking sad, so I just kept eating my food, ran upstairs, and listened to music.

When my Nana (grandmother) died I felt terrible for about five minutes then just stopped... And when my neighbor died, whom my family was very close with, I just said "huh, that sucks," and continued playing video games...

It's not abnormal if you didn't really connect with them that well and they were never a personal part of your life. I have lost many family members, but because they were relatives that I may have seen once or twice, I was never affected.

he's not really close to me, especially because I have eight other uncles, but one of my uncles committed suicide like a year ago and I hardly cared at all, other than for his kids who are now fatherless. On the other hand, though, I didn't recognize his name, so it's not like I knew him that well.

My cousin shot himself about a year ago; I was more schocked than upset.

I don't deal with other peoples grief well. If I'm at a funeral, I avoid my upset family like the plague. I'm pretty inhuman.
