So it all began yesterday, when I was horseback riding. It was very fun I was doing well and jumping with a very difficult horse. Suddenly, my stirrup randomly breaks off. I manage to stay on for a while longer but the horse takes off and i in the proccess of reigning him in fell off the horse and nearly broke my ankle. I was supposed to go on a trip, two hours after but I instead went to an emergancy care center where they told me that my foot is sprained with a possible hair line fracture and i need to come back in a week to see if i am going to need surgery. Then i was left at my house with my careless younger brother who is a punk and wouldnt do a single thing to help me out. Then today someone very close to my family died... So I am kinda the strong one in the family and everyone around me is crying and I am consoling them. Which is fine until they ask me why im not crying.... Then they think I am being insensetive... Gosh why is life so complicated! lol.... well thanks for letting me vent!!!

I've never seen the point in crying about someone who has died. I'm not insensitive, I merely have a firm grasp on life. I know I'm going to die and the people around me too will die.

It's not something easy to explain, just stick it through, you'll be fine.

Not everybody cries when something tragic happens to them...even when a person dies. There are different stages in the grieving process, and crying is not necessarily always going to be one of them. It may turn out that you cry a week from now, a year from now, or never...but not crying does not mean that you're not being sensitive. I still haven't cried over my cousin who died over two years ago...somebody I cared for a lot...but it doesn't mean I haven't grieved his death. I'm sorry to hear that your family doesn't understand right now...they're in a lot of pain too, and so they may be finding it difficult to be sensitive towards you. But don't feel bad....it definitely does not mean that you're being insensitive.
