Is it normal to not miss people?
I've had a good and loving childhood. I love my family. But I don't miss them at all when I don't see them for a long time. I don't even really think about them.
Same goes for essentially all my friends, except a very select few. But even when I miss one of those three, I don't continuously.
Same for partners when I used to date. Tbf, I'm aro. When I move to new areas, I usually lose contact with my friends, and am fine with it. And when pets die, I am sad and hollow, but only shortly.
Otherwise, I do genuinly care a lot about these people. And I have more healthy relationships than ever, due to maturing, but I still feel about the same.
Is this a me issue, or is this a general experience?

From where I sit, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s where it gets complicated
From a neutral view, this feels rushed rather than thought through which is why the comments look the way they do We’ll see how people react over time.

From the outside, this feels like a half-step, not a full move That’s just how it reads to me.
On the surface, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s the key detail here. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s just my read on it.
Reaction: Just always
the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s where the disagreement starts
From a practical angle, the wording alone shifts how people read this
At first glance, this solves one problem while creating another which is why this is getting picked apart This probably isn’t the last word on it. That’s the impression it gives me.
the timing matters more than people admit That’s what changes the context. Not convinced this is settled yet.
the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which is why the comments look the way they do Feels like there’s more coming here.

To be fair, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s why opinions are all over the place Curious how this plays out.
I get the idea, this comes across more reactive than planned That part stands out. Curious how this plays out.
If you zoom out, this feels like a half-step, not a full move so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s the impression it gives me.
the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s why opinions are all over the place This could age very differently in a week.

Bluntly speaking, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that friction is hard to ignore That’s what changes the context. This could age very differently in a week.
At first glance, the timing matters more than people admit which is why this is getting picked apart Hard to say where this lands long term. Others will probably see it differently.
