Should I be more upset about this?

Post date: 2020-07-07 13:11:54

I woke up to a damaged car on Sunday morning, it had been hit by another vehicle while parked in front of my place. I have some dents and a missing side mirror now, but other than that it's ok. Everyone seems angrier about this damage to my car than I actually am? Should I be angrier? Is something wrong with me?

I've been wondering about this all day. Is it weird (or bad) that I'm not more angry about the damage to my car? Should I be more upset??

It's drivable and I will be taking it in to an auto shop to get the alignment checked and to make sure everything is good mechanically. I can also replace the side mirror myself with one I bought online for $43, so that's already been ordered. Other than that, I just... don't really care about the dented car?

This car is my first car and I've been pretty hard on it since I've had it. These dents are joining the dents and scratches I've already acquired over the last 4 years. I am planning on getting a new car in the next year and this incident has made me start researching other cars, but I'm in no rush.

Everyone I've mentioned this hit and run to is waaaaay more upset than I am about it. For example, I chatted with one of my neighbours this evening and she ranted and raved about how it was bullshit that we haven't found out who did it and all that, she was 100X more angry than I was. She was sooooo mad that this happened. Anyway, my lack of "anger" is making me wonder if something is... WRONG with me? Am I reacting wrong? I feel more irritated and inconvenienced than anything else, but angry? Not really. There's no one to be angry at!
