Being unphased by traumatic situations. At least right away. If a loved one dies or there’s a terrorist attack, I feel nothing until usually months go by. It then hits me randomly and I get as upset as you’d expect one to at the beginning.

    I have a similar reaction to things. Unfortunately, it often causes people to look at me to figure shit out in the moment. Just because I'm not freaking out doesn't mean I know a damn thing about the correct course of action right now.

    I get a different reaction. People see me as disturbed or heartless, I get “What is wrong with you” and “Don’t you feel anything right now?” One time I responded with honesty. Bad call brother. I try to look upset, but it probably resembles the same level of concern one might show when trying to determine the perpetrator of an especially offensive fart.
