Why has my emotional reaction changed?

Question - (17 January 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 18 January 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, *eShell writes:

Alright this is a very odd question! So, ever since I've been young. When I read a sad book or watched a sad movie. I would bawl like a little baby. Then these past two years I've went through practically hell and I just noticed that with just one mention of that situation or certain people I would cry like their is no tomorrow. Now when I read or watch something sad, I do not cry. Then everyone is looking at my like I'm an idiot, for I'm the only one not crying. Sometimes I want to cry or feel that I should be crying, but I don't. My question is why did my habits that I've had for such a long time change? Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty happy not crying after watching a sad movie, but it's just odd for me. So any suggestions?

Pit bulls loose their ability to cry with repeated beatings. Were you beaten repeatedly?

Whatever and whoever sent you through hell, has made you hard, cold, defensive, angry, mean and indifferent.

You're still in hell, because if you were out of it, that softer side of you would be back. Although probably not as soft as before, since it robbed it from you.

I suggest you probe the experience further to make closure, which might require you do it with the sources party to it.

You might not want any dealings with whatever or whoever was party to it but you have to disinfect the wound, before it can properly heal. Otherwise it will continue to be an abscess, demanding reopening for drainage, over and over again.

You need to handle the matter in order to get back in touch with the softer you.
