<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

The past few months have been very challenging ones for me and those closest to me due to some fairly intense personal events. Among other things, this has highlighted something I've known for awhile: I can't cry. Ever. 

I've not had a huge amount of tragedy in my life, but through the deaths of two grandparents, one aunt and a cousin, nothing. And throughout this recent series of events, I've still not cried. I'm a 31-year-old male, so I don't expect I should be bawling at any little thing, but am I a freak for *never* crying? I get choked up, maybe even a little misty-eyed, but no tears.

For what it's worth, I remember the last time I cried. It was 20 years ago, and I was being picked on by some bullies who'd taken my school bag and thrown it into a tree. I cried at this which-of course-result in more teasing. And I remember deciding then that I would never cry again. And I haven't. Is that weird?

I often joke that I don't cry because I'm dead inside; I'm starting to worry that might actually be the case. What do you think reddit?
<bot>: I haven't shed so much as a single tear since I was 11 (I'm now 31). Even during very traumatic events. Am I a freak or is this common/normal?
