I should give some context to this in that I have this side on my dad’s side of the family that I rarely ever see but my grandma talks to somewhat regularly cause that side of the family is of her cousins and mostly with people around her age. Recently one of those family members died and today we went to the viewing- and I genuinely felt nothing for the person who passed. I’ve met said beforehand a few times when they were alive but I genuinely don’t have a relationship with them or ever really see them. So when I was helping my grandmother walk through the funeral home and she stopped to give condolences to the relatives of the deceased person- I genuinely felt nothing but I gave my sympathy and condolences to them. To top it off, a good 90% of the people there at the viewing were on that side of the family while like only 4 people who I see regularly because they’re around in my life and live nearby came but left after a half hour. I don’t know if it’s an autistic thing to not feel sad during a funeral for a relative you barely know or remember, but this always happens to me whenever I go to these kinds of things. So, what is everyone’s thoughts?
