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?

Looking at this, this depends heavily on what happens next That’s what makes this interesting. Feels like there’s more coming here. That’s just my read on it.

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.

At this point, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s what people are responding to That’s what changes the context. That’s just how it reads to me.

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.

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.

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.

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.
