why do people get so sad when like they're grandma or uncle dies

i have feelings like most people but i don't get how you can get so upset over the death of someone you probably aren't even that close to

i just saw someone's facebook status like this and i don't get it

maybe i'm just more mature than these kind of people are?

My grandmother is the nearest to perfect woman I know. Love her more than anyone in the world, and she knows it.

>> No.1775353

Because you aren't that close to your uncle or grandma.

They probably were.

There ya go.

also learn grammar.
also you're a high-schooler if you worry about "maturity"

i'm exactly the same

problem is i'm not even so close to my siblings or even my own mother really so it's always been hard for me to give the apperance of caring about whatever bad shit has happened to them

>> No.1775363

Obviously it depends on how close and how much contact you have with said relative. I was really sad when my grandad dies a few years back.
tl;dr op is either a rediculously poor troll or a rediculously stupid person.

People who aren't close to their grandmother or aunt or uncle generally don't get very sad when that relative dies. A lot of people have close bonds with their extended family. I have an aunt who's essentially a second mother to me.

Now when they aren't close to them people sometimes express more grief than they feel because they think that's how they're supposed to feel and that it would be socially unacceptable for them not to behave that way.

the problem is that you are an alien cyborg from a distant planet that has no understanding of human emotion, yet you find yourself here trying to discover what that is only to find out in the end that you do have it; it just took the vast stupidity of human nature to remind you of such a primitive and mentally useless concept of emotion. Thus you return back to your home planet in an attempt to reveal to them this new found thing called emotion that you have discovered, only to be left as an outcast. Now you are stuck between two worlds and find no way to relate to either of them. You eventually make friends with some alien companions along the way and find a new way to travel through time, where you guys find new adventures and settle upon new and mysterious discoveries.
