<human>: Growing up I [20sM] didn't have many experiences with death. My grandparents are relatively young and relatively healthy, and I don't have much extended family where I live so I didn't attend many funerals or wakes. A semi-close relative who I've never spoken to passed around a decade ago and, even though I attended the wake, I wasn't really emotionally affected by it.

I just found out that an acquaintance [20sM] someone who hung out with a crowd that some of my friends were in in HS, has passed away. I was never best friends with him, but we spoke, saw each other around for four years, and ran into each other a few times after high school. In spite of how not-all-that-close we were though, I'm sitting at work in absolute shock. I feel like I'm making his death about myself and that's the last thing I want to do, especially given the nature of out relationship (or lack thereof) and how unfair it seems, but the intensity of emotion I feel toward this isn't something I'm making up. I don't know if I'm asking if this is normal - whether it is or isn't doesn't change that I'm feeling it. I guess I'm just rambling because I feel stupid telling my SO or friends that someone I barely knew as of late passing is affecting me this much. His wake is tomorrow, a good drive away, and I'm debating going. But I don't know if that would be insulting. I barely knew him! I can just imagine walking in and everyone throwing daggers at me for even surmising to feel what they feel, not having spoken to him for upwards of a year. What is going on?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: I have no idea how to handle the death of a distant acquaintance or why I'm feeling the things I'm feeling.
