    Do people really get sad when celebrities die? I mean other than death being a sad thing in general.

    I can't tell if it's just an act, maybe out of respect for the deceased, or if people genuinely feel upset when a celebrity does.

    I don't feel anything, even if they were an icon. Maybe of moment of "oh that sucks". Anyone care to explain?

    Meeseeks already feel pain, so any extra pain wouldn't be noticed.

    I have't talked to my extremely bi polar selfish crap starting sister in law since I told her off about 4 months ago. She is coming into to town tonight for a family wedding this weekend. I don't even want to deal with her *kitten*. I know she is going to sit there and play the victim, making snide comments all night long when she has done this all to herself with her crazy delusions and refusal to treat her bi polar. It will be hard for me to take the high road and if she pushes me too far she won't like if I get a chance alone with her away from the wedding party.

    Becareful with Bipolar people. They are my personal most significant dangerous people to themselves and regardless if we like how they act we should be there for family/friends who suffer from that diagnosis symptomology.


    Bipolar individuals don't usually play victims.......they are real. Borderline personality individuals do that.

    Thanks, I realize she can't help her bi polar nor does she want to be bi polar but she chooses to not take her meds because she disagrees with the multiple diagnosis that multiple psychologists have given her. I have sat and supported her for 20+ years but once she started making up ludicrous lies that have really messed with other peoples' lives including two of her nephews, one being my son, I won't sit and let her keep destroying the family members around her. In her case she does definitely play the victim and does no wrong in her eyes (I understand bi polar people perceive reality differently) but enough is enough. When lies are being spread that change perfectly innocent teenage boys lives just to suit her, I won't do it anymore. She needs to treat her condition and stop causing havoc everywhere she goes. The way she acts, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if she isn't borderline personality as well. Again, I know she didn't choose to be that way but I am sorry eventually she needs to take responsibility for her actions.

    ETA: her most recent shenigans included calling the cops on her own mother and accused her mother of assault (which didn't happen) because her mom did not give up her seat at the casino they were at together therefore giving my sister in law a panic attack. This was after my mother in law had driven 800 miles to visit her and this happened the first night there. My mother in law left and came home the next morning.

    Thanks for all the input guys! Both the ones that make me feel more normal and the ones that provide insight to why you might actually be sad.

    I have music and movies that I love but have never felt an emotional connection to an artist/actor.

    Just another example of why empathy is worthless. Just imagine Goldilocks: Pity = not enough compassion, empathy = too much compassion, sympathy = juuuuust right.

    I'm debating taking the rest of the day off. Balancing my lack of work I need to do, and the equal lack of other things I'd rather be doing.

    I felt a certain kind of way when Michael Jackson died. I cried watching his funeral on TV. Not sure why I felt that way. I was a huge fan of his but it's not like when a relative of mine dies. I wasn't mourning his death, I just felt sad because he was such an ICON. Idk, I'm weird.

    He died on my bday and i was in a hotel that smelled like headaches and my stepmom was freaking out because she was talking about him the night before so obviously it was her fault he died

    Perhaps I shouldn't have read John Donne when I was young. However, I do buy into this concept:

    "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. "

    @MeeseeksAndDestroy My parents divorced in the early 90s, I was 9... I was raised largely by a single mother and we had little money, renting movies on the weekends was something we enjoyed and Robin Williams movie's helped us get through what was a very difficult time for us all...

    I love Mrs Doubtfire but it still tugs on the heartstrings

    I get this as I was going through the same thing at the same time. I still associate that movie with what I was going through.
