What does it mean if I don't feel anything when people die?

Many people I know are dead, and I don't have any kind of an emotional reaction to it whatsoever. I see other people having severe reactions and I wonder what's wrong with me.

I'm also terrified someone else is gonna notice and I will be expelled from the herd.

Its not the "feelings" that count, but your sincere desire to pray for the deceased; and to comfort and console the family. Not everyone has strong emotions or can cry at the drop of a hat. I didn't cry or feel terrible when my Dad and Mom passed away; even though they were living with me and were great even fantastic parents; because my Dad was slowly slipping into dementia, and I kept praying that God would take him before he was totally gone. And my Mom was already in dementia for a couple of years, and I felt terrible for her; she wasn't the same woman.

I wasn't very sad when my grandma died. I was too relieved that she'd agreed to receive last rites after 60 years of bitterness towards the Church. I had plenty of time to prepare myself for her death, and I knew that she was in pain.
