So this is something that has been troubling me for awhile about 2 years ago my mom was in a car accident she was hurt pretty badly she broke her neck and at first they didn't think she was going to be able to walk again she has since made full recovery but I remember not being sad at all about it everyone else in my family was obviously. I remember seeing my sister break down and cry like a baby which is really weird for her considering she isn't emotional. I remember putting my hand on her shoulder trying to console her while I myself felt nothing I knew that I should've been upset but I wasn't. I went home later that night and watched a movie on TV and cried from the movie don't remember what it was. When my uncle died I didn't feel much of anything I remember being like that's sad for a minute and then going on about my day. I am very emotional I was crying earlier I cry all the time from movies or if I I read something that's going on in the world that upsets me. I cried when Mandela died I'm very empathetic but when something happens in my own life I don't seem to be able to emote. Why is this? Is there a name for this? I know I'm not a sociopath or anything like that I have strong emotions. Just wondering
