I can never stay angry at something for a long time. I hold no grudges,
nor do I despise people for maybe more than a day. Also, it's hard for me
to get emotional over people I really dont know well. For instance, on a
message board I visit, one of them had died. Everyone in the chatroom the
night it was found out were in tears, shocked, upset, but I didnt feel
much of anything. Sure, i felt sad for the family, but i didnt feel so sad
an upset that it brought me to tears. However, i can feel emotions but
they never get really intense for me

I talked with another friend and he too felt the same way. We of course
didnt say anything because we'd have probably been seen as uncaring,
distant, and cold.
