I feel like I missed out because I didn't cry

I watched the entirety of Cyberpunk Edgerunners because of a friend (who did cry)'s recommendation. I already knew it would be a sad ending since I saw on a few edit videos' comments that it was heartbreaking.

When I reached the end, I felt (as we all probably did) sad and depressed. But instead of crying like my friend did, I just felt empty. Maybe there were distractions around me that prevented me from getting sad, or I just wasn't in the mood. I guess I just dealt with it differently, but I tried watching the ending again, but it didn't really do anything. I did feel my eyes getting ever so slightly teary, but not to the point where tears are about to fall out.

And now I feel like I'm missing out on the feeling, especially since I keep seeing people saying they cried. And I can't just watch it again, since it's not the same. (I wish I could watch it for the first time again) I do get PTSD from the song (like others do) where I get flashbacks to the last scene, but not to the point where I'm sad/cry all over again. I just feel... empty I guess?

Please let me know if I'm not the only one...
