I was like, "Oh? Huh. Waddya know. Well, that explains a lot." Cold and Colder.

Nobody in my family has ever said anything about it, but my immediate family doesn't really show their emotions either. We're more of a "ignore the problem and it will go away, don't rely on anyone else to solve your problems for you" type of family, if that makes sense. My extended family is a bit more open emotionally, but we're not very close, so it was never something I was around. But the reaction you described, I definitely get that from my friends.
