I would like to know why I can't be normal and cry over the things that are really bothering me; instead of reading a fan fic/story/whatever and sobbing at that, instead, to mask it
( Read more... )
I don't think that's abnormal at all. There have been several times where something shocking has happened and I just... can't cry. And then later something completely stupid will trigger it. My grandpa died (from cancer, coincidentally) a month ago or so and like three days later I was in the car listening to the RENT soundtrack and I had to pull over cause I started crying.
So unfortunately true. A month after my grandpa was diagnosed I found out my godmother had breast cancer. Apparently it's extremely common... I never knew =\
My grandmother had breast cancer, too. It's like: "Jeebus. Can't you like -- leave people alone? Don't you have Better things to do?" Obviously. It doesn't. *grumble*
Modern Medicine, really workin' it on that whole "finding solutions" thing. *rolls eyes*
Everyone has different reactions to different things. Especially very sad things. Some people sob until they can do nothing but sleep. Some people are in various states of disbelief. Some don't seem to care. Some, rather than extreme saddness or apathy, show nothing. They draw on some sort of numbness or strength. There is no proper way to deal with such things. The best thing to do is to just accept your reaction. It is not strange or odd. It just is. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Look on the bright side: At least you cry sometimes. It's a very healthy thing, you know.
Oh sweet *biggest hugs evar* People deal with things differently, that's all. Some people let emotion out by sobbing hysterically at the slightest little thing, and some people have to have like a lever, to allow them to let go. That's you, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Mr grandfather was diagnosed with colon cancer a few years ago now. My mom, aunt, and grandmother all cried their eyes out, while me and my grandad sat and watched the racing and shushed them because we couldn't hear the commentary. I never actually cried over that, because I didn't see the point in crying when there wasn't actually anything to cry about yet (he wasn't dead, so I didn't need to be sad, if you get me). Maybe that's you, too.

So much love to you and your Aunt right now ♥

Yet, I cry over sad fan fic and sappy romance movies a lot. I even search out cry generating stuff, if I feel the need to have the outlet.
So, you may not be normal...but there's other abnormal people out in the world that share that trait.
Hope that helps.
