Does anyone else get sad when a celebrity dies? or just people you don’t know?

Damn all these deaths this past year makes feel so depressed in life! Like i didn’t think it was possible to feel so sad about people i don’t know dying yet i feel like I’ve known them my whole life!

Depends, I got really upset when Robin Williams passed and cried when Matthew Perry passed. Because they were part of my childhood, I “grew up” with their acting credits, they made me laugh, they made me forget about reality for a bit. It was like losing a friend in a way.

Of course, when one possesses empathy, it is natural to feel sadness when someone dies, even if you did not have a personal relationship with them.

People form a special bond with famous people (singers, actors) without realizing it. That's why I think it's very humane to be sad about their deaths.

I was a bit upset when Jeff Beck passed, but in general I just accept that death is part of the journey we are on.

I used to cry for them, but then I realized that they harvest our tears.

Do not cry for them.

A celebrity death isn't sad to me because I don't know them
