Crying

So, just for background, my aunt recently died and her wake and funeral were this weekend. We were just as close as any other aunt and niece would be. When i was in the hospital she called evryday for a week to make sure i was ok and everything. I was very sad but never cried. Everyone around me cried, but not me. I got to her crying husband at the wake and i hugged him and smiled.Idk why. I never cry, never. No matter what i never do. Then i was talking to my friend and he said that it was abnormal that i don't cry. That something was wrong with me. Do you think that when people dont ever cry something is wrong with them? Am i cold hearted because i didnt cry at the wake and funeral but smiled instead? Any thoughts/advice/comments to help me? I've been thinking about this so much and everyone has given me a different answer. I was even told to be myself but Idk who myself is anymore.

i dont think it's abnormal that you don't cry...it takes different things to trigger ppl to cry... i remember one time at my grandpa's funeral (my grandpa and i had the closest relationship my whole family had together), but at my grandpa's funeral..i never cried...but you know what? i laughed... i mean..funerals are supposed to be sad.. but then again, when you think about it... they're just going off to the afterlife..and you never know... they could've been suffering and had it better if they left the world...my point is... its not abnormal to not cry...

thanks. i guess you're right. I just wasn't sure whether to believe my friend and his abnormal comment. Or anything he said about that.

thanks, and im sorry to hear that. I hope you are ok now.
