Is it normal for me to be emotionally hardened? I've forgotten how to cry quite a while ago and I have lost loved one's. Is it normal to not cry over it?
I used to be a bawler. Every single thing made me cry such as sad movies, a minor injury, being yelled at, being insulted, watching an ant die, etc. Yes, I used to cry over every thing.
But, I've learned to emotionally harden myself. When my sister (whom I was extremely, extremely close too) passed away at the age of 8 in a car crash, my parents and friends at her funeral cried like a baby, but I just watched the coffin and didn't cry, didn't even shed a single tear.
When my friend asked me why I wasn't crying, I replied with, "I've forgotten how to cry. I am really sad about her death, but I can't cry anymore."
I was shocked I was saying that and so was my friend.
Is it weird to not cry anymore?
