>cry when an anime character dies
>grandpa is dying and I can't feel anything
Why am I like this, mom is angry that I don't cry but I just don't know how to be sad
Cry when an anime character dies
Same when my grandmother died, we're just emotionally detached from the real world, only my escapism makes me feel real emotions.
DId you see him often? Or just like you were forced to go to his birthday only or something similar?
Maybe you just don't care, my great grandmother died recently and it didn't really hit until I went to the funeral
>try to imagine your grandpa as Zoroku
>cry
proof that emotions are an artificial product completely absent in nature and a merely a convenient way to conduct social engineering maneuvers via mass media
I don't even cry at anime deaths
why cant I feel emotions
>great grandpa dies from old age and multiple health problems
>feel sad but don't cry because I already knew it was coming
>get yelled at and accused of not caring because I can't cry on command
When someone is crying or upset.
I get called a piece of shit for not doing anything.
What am I supposed to do?
Well duh, but you're not supposed to say it out loud.
Perhaps it'll hit you at the actual funeral. Maybe.
>Why am I like this
It's simple, we fucking hate people. Same reason why normies feel more sympathy for animals.
Just be yourself my friends. I remember after a tragedy that happened a few years ago when a roastie tried to get me to open up to her because I'm reserved and didn't show my emotions, I just said I have my own way of dealing with things and she just couldn't fathom that I wasn't wailing with sorrow like everyone else and couldn't let it go for the rest of the night.
Three of my grandparents bit the dust before I could talk so I do have the luxury of not remembering what it was like to see people cry over someone I couldn't really care for. We all have our own ways of grieving I suppose.
I watched a shitty music competition last night. The woman judge cried 3 times because she was moved by the challengers singing.
The moral if the story is everyone wants you to be fake. They want you to cry smile and laugh on command. It doesnt matter if it's genuine.
>Grandpa who openly disliked me and only saw me a handful of times dies
>Say "Fuck, mom. I'm so sorry for your loss." when she calls me crying about it.
>"MY loss?! MY loss??! He was your grandfather!"
>"And a hostile virtual stranger? Can I do anything to support you?"
>I am a piece of shit and hear about it to this day 9 years later.
Could be worse OP. Don't feel bad. Grief happens different for everyone.
kek, I remember saying something like "I need to study, I can't visit your family today", and she got really mad about it too.
Grandmother died and my brother and I just went to kind of play vidya. I was young and didn't really understand the world fully (probably around 8). All I saw was her crying on the sofa and I hugged her, I don't think she appreciated it. I didn't really feel anything at the time and still don't feel anything desu.
Well, user, you were eight, not really your fault
Real deaths are slow. Anime deaths are made to be emotionally impactful.
The pain doesn't happen until after you finally realize you'll never see your Grandpa again, ever.
Fictional deaths are way more exaggerated than real life losses. Let's say, your favorite fictional character dies in a tragic battle while throwing a baby to its mom and sacrificing himself by waving enemy attention to him, all underlined with Hans Zimmer Tier music VS your relative dies 4 miles away because they choked on a chickenwing or got a heart attack and died of old age.
I cried when aniki died and one week later my grandma died and i feel nothing, same when my uncle died 8 years ago
>Aniki
That's not his name, user
proof that you're retarded
when my Grandmother died, my cousins and I just went upstairs and played some marvel ultimate alliance for a bit at the wake.
We were 19.
