[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 687640, member: 20267"] I understand. When I was 16, my aunt (different aunt than the one I am with now) woke me up at 4am to tell me that my mom died. I remember just feeling completely numb. Was on a plane to Texas that same day, but I didn't cry until the very end of her funeral service. The entire time I was there, I couldn't understand why I hadn't cried. Started to think that I was just a bad person. It wasn't until I finally broke down that I realized that my apathy was due to the enormity of the pain, and that it was much easier to feel nothing. I remember wishing I could go back to that apathy, but I couldn't. So I get the feeling of apathy as a defense mechanism. [/QUOTE]
