As if how much you weep is any barometer of feeling. People who cry too much shouldn't be trusted - it's not about feeling, for them. Not in the end. Just a Pavlovian dog whistle to gain catharsis, or pity.

[Said as someone who forces himself not to cry as much as possible because God, once it starts it's so damn hard to stop. Said as someone who knows people who weep too much, and achieve nothing by it.

Said gently enough, even so.]

Finding yourself numb in the face of loss is far from inhuman. On the contrary, to be numb is to have something inside yourself you're trying to protect.
