Quality Relationships

[mcx]

This is sort of a bit off topic, but this is something I've been wondering about for a pretty long time now. I feel like I don't know anyone who, if they died, I would care about losing. I'm wondering if this is just because my social anxiety has prevented me from getting into relationships that I would care about or if there is something else about me that I should be looking into. I have a few (fairly?) close friends, but even with them I feel like they could die and I wouldn't really care. Is this happening to anyone else?

I also don't know anyone whose death would upset me. But I don't have social anxiety, I like meeting new people. I have a suspicion that I may be like that because I am very independent, both financially and emotionally. In our society people are less dependent on other people, and you see that people become more isolated. I don't think you can blame people (and you and me) for that, I think it happens in an unconscious way.
