Just heard that my aunt died.....

I don't feel anything either, like CWA. When my grandfather died, and also when my other grandfather died, I was like "ok then. What do I do now?" and when I hear about apparently horrible / awful murders or deaths from other people or the media, no matter how bad they are, I just sit there blankly and say "what am I supposed to say or do now?"

Due to my diagnoses, I find it hard to feel emotions in most situations.

The girls at school (unfortunately I went to a girls school - I am female - but I get along better with males) used to think I was a "freak" for reading "Atlas of Trauma Injuries" or "Forensic Pathology" while eating my lunch lol.

I find murders interesting tbh. I often research the circumstances leading up to the death and I think about the forensic psychology / forensic pathology side of it. Yet again, it's all science for me.

I remember coming across a dead fox on the street. The other people on that street were staring and pointing at me....because I was using a stick to find out what organs were ruptured and what direction the car had hit it (obviously I wouldn't touch, or go too near, the fox, due to infection risk).

I often wish I were able socially to do a medical degree, because then I would be able to specialise in Forensic Pathology.

Death can be interesting from a purely scientific point of view.

Thanks ^

I'll look into career / education path to get into forensic pathology. I find the whole area extremely absorbing and fascinating. Also I don't get the emotional issues which helps.
