Feeling Alienated While Dealing with Grief

I totally get this. & def what Nexus said. I never realized it was “different” in a way that is often viewed as having no emotion over it until much later. I’ve found that the best thing to do during these times (for me, at least) is to reach out to the community for support with that feeling of alienation. There’s no right or wrong way to react to grief, whether it’s experiencing it strongly or having a detached feeling around it. You experience it in an individual way, just like everyone else does, even if that difference may feel—emotionally or otherwise—disconcerting.

I've had this my whole life, it's like I'm completely shut off from it all. I can't explain it - I definitely feel grief and I feel sad, but I can't connect with it
