Does this make me a bad person?

I don’t really miss people, even the ones I love. When I’m with my parents or with friends, I know I love them and I want to be with them, so I get sad whenever I have to leave (because I’m living about 2h away from my parents, and only visit them once or twice a month). However, once I’m away from them it’s like the sadness goes away and I don’t think about missing them during the weeks I spend without seeing them. Is this normal? It happens everytime I spend some time away from someone, instead of missing them I grow distant… does this make me a bad person?

Completely normal, it happens to me as well , a bad person is someone that hurts people because that is their intention or that they do things thinking only on their own benefit and not caring if someone need to suffer because of it. You are not doing anything wrong, it is just the way you are and sure people that know you well will be aware of that and will not mind it (at least that is what happens in my case).

Not missing someone for a long duration doesn't necessarily mean that you love them less. It simply means that you are able to move forward and focus at the task at hand. You will think of them from time to time. As long as you are in communication with them, you will not grow distant from them.

I am the same way. I learned to keep my own company. So, no, it does not make you a bad person.

I am extremely similar. My parents get really mad at me for this too. I think it is normal, and in the end is better for you because you will be able to move on faster with important things.

my belief is that only God can judge, however this is normal, as I do it to, but sometimes something that is popular, isn't always right, and that something that is right, isn't always popular -By some guy IDK
