It started happening since I was a kid. With the death of pets and relatives (may they rest in peace).

I don't like when someone die (obviously), and I indeed fell bad about it.
But I get better really quickly and I don't drop a single tear, I usually end up saying something like "oh, that is terrible" and I actually mean it

I fell a little bad because of it, it almost looks like that I don't care. I know is because people get devastated when things like this happen, but I just don't get what crying will help.

    Most people just feel bad about deaths until it happens to someone very close to them; especially if its unexpected. That is when they cry.

    I cried when my best friend in high school committed suicide.

    I did not cry for my parents as they had lived a long life and were in declining health. I did spent the last 10 days with my mother essentially 24/7 and she died holding my hand. In that case, I felt more relief that her suffering was finally over than sadness at her death.

    I suspect that I will cry should my wife die prematurely.

    I cry when a relative or other person I know or a pet dies, because it's an emotional moment and I'll miss their earthly presence. I tear up when someone around me is grieving a loss, even if I didn't know the deceased person, because I'm a bit of a "hyper empath." However I do believe there's a silver lining, I apologize if anyone here isn't spiritual, but death is one door closing and another opening.

    Same here though i've only experienced the deaths of my grandparents. I didnt cry though I wasnt really close to any of them except one of my grandmothers, so I was very sad but I didnt cry and I was mostly shocked I think.
    I've cried a lot when pets have died, on the other hand.

    I've never cried over someones death but I can't stop thinking about that person even if they did die.

    I'm devastated over the loss of my feline companion. I'm not crying as much after more than a month, but I can easily find myself on the verge of tears everyday.

      I think I know how you feel. I used to feel the only thing I loved was my first cat. There's like an unspoken language, an indirect understanding between us and cats

      My cat Mergoat and I have started to bond. I'm glad we're together because he seems like he's enjoying life more and more. And that's what we do for our pets, we give them lives where they can explore love and comfort
