Something like this happened to me. The girl that I was flerting said " you are the coldest people that I ever met" . And she speaking was much more enfatic than just those words. I gave up from her, but I still don't understand why she said it, she couldn't give me a straight answer. In my mind I was a very gentle guy, not cold at all.

- BTW, didn't care about Diana...

Now that I think of it, I felt nothing when the twin towers went down. I knew it was a terrible thing to do, and I was respectful. That's all I thought anybody else was feeling. Until I started this topic, I've never actually considered that others experienced these strong emotions when tragedies happen. That doesn't mean I'm cold. I think maybe I've just been considered as such because I don't always know how the things I say will make others feel.


I was going to say the same about the twin towers but I learned that people goes nasty to me when I use this example... Thanks for mentioning it.

That's just strange. People think that if you're not hysterical enough when it happens you'll turn into a terrorist too? It's better to remain calm anyway.

I remember talking about, but mostly becuz I thought I should and also as an excuse to try to talk to someone I wanted to know, other than that I was only very upset & worried becuz I knew most of my friends/my brothers were planning to join the army after highschool at that time & becuz they feel like extensions of me I couldnt imagine myself without them & that scared me, so I cried. Other than that, I dont understand why people are so mad? Americans kill people in other countries all the time. And a lot more than they managed to. Americans martyred themselves. I think it was pretty ugly reaction.


A lot of terrorists have martyred themselves as well. Do you not realize the meaning of 9/11? It's very important that you do.
