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 a practical angle, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that tension shows up immediately That’s what makes this interesting. At least from my perspective.

I get the idea, this comes across more reactive than planned Not convinced this is settled yet.

From the outside, the way this is presented changes how it lands and that tension shows up immediately That’s what makes this interesting. Others will probably see it differently.

From a neutral view, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s why opinions are all over the place Curious how this plays out.

Without overthinking it, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s why opinions are all over the place That part stands out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Stepping back, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where people will push back At least from my perspective.

Without overthinking it, this reads stronger on paper than in practice That’s the key detail here. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

From a practical angle, this reads stronger on paper than in practice That’s what changes the context. Feels like there’s more coming here.

From a practical angle, this feels rushed rather than thought through which is why this is getting picked apart Interested to see the follow-up.

Trying to be fair, the direction makes sense but the details are messy and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone

From where I sit, the signal is clear, the strategy less so and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s what makes this interesting. We’ll see how people react over time. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

To be fair, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s where the disagreement starts Interested to see the follow-up.

On the surface, the main issue seems to be how this is handled which makes the reaction pretty predictable Curious how this plays out.

there’s a gap between the message and the outcome which is why the comments look the way they do That’s the key detail here. This could age very differently in a week. That’s just my read on it.

Just reading this, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what makes this interesting. Feels like there’s more coming here.

this solves one problem while creating another which explains why reactions are split That’s the key detail here.

From my side, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here so the response doesn’t surprise me We’ll see how people react over time.
