yea.
well, actually i didn't feel that guilty about it if i'm being honest. i felt like my reaction was appropriate. but then when i saw how others reacted i just felt sort of like a robot or something. honestly the weirdest thing was having people call me all day to offer their consolation and me feeling the need to entertain this formality while secretly feeling more like i was consoling them for feeling bad than vice versa. honestly when something bad happens there's nothing less helpful to me than being forced to dwell on it all day in random conversations with different people.
