Not being able to make connections?

Recently I was thinking I don't think I would care if any of my family or anyone I know died, this thought came to me after I read an article about someone who was very sad after there brother died, I just couldn't really relate to how sad they seemed to be. Don't get me wrong I don't want them to die nor would I enjoy them or anyone else to feel pain but I just don't think I would care in particular if anyone I knew died.

I was wondering is this common? I just fear with this lack of connection with people I will never be able to make meaningful relationships with anyone and that thought really depresses me.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Death is a part of life, and we will all be dead one day. Some people accept this truth better than others.

Also, you can only be sad if you truly like (or even love) someone. For example my sister and my parents are bad people. I despise being around them. I won't miss them the day they die.

I have made connections with other people who I will miss when they die. But these connections didn't happen overnight. It took years to form, and they only formed because these people showed me love in return. I can't love someone who doesn't love me.

I believe you are capable of making connections when you find the right person. Take your time in finding the right connections. If you truly want to make connections, they will happen over time.
