This is actually a good way to be. What you are is merely a spectator of life and its fine. Just try to keep enjoyment and wonder in your life and view all of the terrible stuff as just interesting aspects of life. We all feel bad about things like school shootings but for some of us its a very underwhelming feeling of compassion and sympathy. It doesn't make us bad people. Most people are this way, the difference being is most people fake outward emotional distress in order to fit in. They display what they think to be appropriate. If you can keep positive or at least remain content in life in the face of terrible realities you are living life the right way. Its not a defect.
