This stood out to me When my dog and best animal friend died a few years ago I was similarly unfazed , as well . But Disney movies make me well up in tears . Is there something wrong with me ? OP , you are not alone in reacting this way ! I broke down watching the intro scene to the movie Up . I mean , ugly crying . When my grandma died , I felt . numb . I dont think I cried until 3 years later . This is NOT because I didn ' t love my grandma . I honestly think it can be a natural reaction to terrible news to just kind of not react . Sometimes I think if I reacted to a loss so deep , my sadness would overwhelm me and so my body kind of shuts down to protect itself . Kind of like when you get an injury you don ' t always feel the pain until later . I promise you this is not a bad reflection on you . You can mourn your friend when the time is right for you , and its just as meaningful as those who are mourning him right now .
