How do you pretend you are grieving when a relative dies?
pic unrelated
is it fucked up to say that i never really felt anything when my relatives died? everyone would be freaking out around me and i'd just sit there.... this is why i always felt uncomfortable in funerals, didn't feel like i belonged there

You don't need to pretend anon. Everyone handles grief differently, so being detached and emotionally unavailable is totally fine in response to the death of a loved one. Don't worry about what people think about how you are handling a death - just do your thing man.
>tfw always accidentally laugh at funerals
I always feel like both an edgelord and a prick, but I can't help myself, I don't even know why I do it.

Yeah, for some reason I get really giggly when I'm emotionally overwhelmed.

I'm not even that emotionally iverwhekmed, seeing as nobody I'm close to has ever died, not that I'm really close to anyone either way, but I guess it's just being in such an uncomfortable situation that makes me laugh.

Just pretend you're laugh crying

I laugh sometimes when I'm nervous too, it's like my brain knows nothing bad is going to happen but it gets anxious anyway and forces a laugh to reset itself. It sucks.

That excuse doesn't work when your at your grandfathers' funeral who hated you and didn't want you to be at his deathbed during his final hours.

why the fuck would you show up to the funeral of someone that hated you? I'm pretty sure if your parents or family members knew they would understand you not being there.

Closely knit family and I lived with my parents at the time, they would have been pissed with me if I didn't go.
