Why doesn't the Death of Others effect me?!
Question:
Why doesn't the Death of Others effect me?
They death or near death of others doesn't seem to effect me, I'm just curious if anyone knew the reason why I take death situations so well.
I'm just curious because when my most favorite pet cat died/disappeared I didn't really feel any emotion about it, and when my one dog died, same I didn't feel upset either.
My mom on the other hand was all upset about it and crying about it, and now my one grandma has recently got some type of cancer through genes, which she will die from in 6months to 2years because it isn't curable at its current stage its at, and my mom is extremely upset about it, moreso than my animals.
It just makes me wonder, my mom always gets so upset by deaths, yet for me Its like I'm not upset at all (they don't really take any effect on me), it just seems kind of odd to me I guess :P
Answers:
Everyone takes death differently, depending on your life experiances, you could be desensitized
If your like myself it takes a while for sadness to set in. It doesn't hit you at first but over time you slowly come to grips with the situation.
On the other hand, you could just have a natural defense mechanism that allows you to block the sadness of death, if you think this is the case, I'd be careful your emotional shield could break down at the worst time.
