It isn't personal. I guess if I were you I would ask why you felt compelled to make this thread because it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks (or what you wear). It only matters what you think (and want to wear). The rest is someone else's rules.

That is why. Above. This doesn't set right with me. As one whom trusts my gut feelings about things and my higher intuition as it hardly fails me most times, I feel I should be able to feel something in regards to the passing of a loved one, other than a feeling of moving on, grieving for a short but reasonable time and coming to my own terms with it.
Shouldn't I feel like other people? Like simply being able to cry at a funeral.
Also it is on the death forum, and the topic is grief and death. I feel my counselor was right in saying what he did. And while I don't disagree with anything said in this thread, It simply bothers me I don't cry at funerals, for reasons I said, I am not hateful, I am kind as possible, I try to help people, and I am not cold.
I just don't cry. But it still bothers me, it is one of my own irritating quirks I have about myself like some would find one biting their nails distasteful I guess.
I guess I am just as always, wondering who I am, and what makes me who I am I guess.
And if I haven't said so already thank you all for your responses and perspective.
I guess this may be something or one of those things I will probably figure out on my own in my own time.
