No, it's not. Trust me, if I was with my girlfriend and she was with her family I probably wouldn't post on here but - when I'm alone in this house, she's alone, and her grandma is far away, even the cold emotionless person that is me can feel a little sad and need to let it out to a community I like and support, and spend a lot of time with (duh, see my user title.)
So, while I appreciate that you might think it slightly odd, and indeed it may be, I don't really care and would ask that you have a little more faith in humanity and a little less cynicism
Lithium - feel free to debate it if it's really "just the internet" to you but to me it's a collection of human beings and if anything the one thing everyone has in common is mortality. You may think you're a cold fish but really, deep down, you know you can't help but feel a little bit sad when someone you don't know dies, even if your expression is indifferent. That's just like me.
I could also bet you that a lot of people do care. If not, why do we hear so many stories on the news which concern deaths?
Anyway, thanks for all the posts from everyone else. Spoke to my girlfriend earlier and they're doing alright, it wasn't too unexpected.
Lots of virtual hugs given
