I think I am a really odd duck… If I were to go in for a psychological evaluation what would they tell me? I find it very difficult to muster any emotion what so ever when death is involved. I have an emotional response to the situation some times, but not about the loss. This also makes me a terrible person to go to when one is grieving the loss of someone close.
I’m all: “Dude bummer…” That’s it, I have nothing. Even that feels forced to me. Like I know I should say something but I have nothing so I make it up.
Perhaps it is all the funerals I have been to when I was a little bastard. My favorite Grandfather, (3) uncles, great aunt, aunts, a friend I had in kindergarten drowned in our neighbors pool. All I think is humph; I guess I won’t be hanging out with them anymore.
The odd thing about this is. They are people I like/care about whatever, but when they pass away I feel nothing. So how am I supposed to respond to someone else’s grief when I have not experienced it myself?
I do get upset when I lose a pet. I have had a lot of Mastiffs in my life. They are the greatest puppies ever! But they have a very limited life span. It gets rough knowing that if you are lucky you may be able to spend 11 years with your companion.
...rash decisions that they will later regret, like quitting their job, moving across the country, etc.Rash? Regret? Shit.

I don't think anybody noticed.
Marie, how's your friend?
I'm a huge fan of rash decisions. Rashness propels my life. Rashes, not so much.
Sally, I was just reading this old thread and you cracked me UP a couple of times!
