If someone who is being honest about how he feels, especially if it means he is going against the grain, and if that attitude just happens to be negative, then again it should not in any way affect you.
When people at work complain and display negative characteristics, I am not negatively affected.
Rather, I am entertained. I turn what could badly affect me into a positive.
Therefore, GROW THE FUCK UP.
Your last sentence contradicts everything you say before it. If Quantum or anyone else is being honest about the way they feel, and if that attitude just happens to be about the way you feel, you should not be affected by it. Telling them to grow the fuck up belies the inference that you are. Thus the further inference is that you are likely not as honest with yourself about the way you feel as you might wish to think you are.
For the record, I am not affected by the news of another's death anymore either. I hear of mass shootings or beheadings, or even murders or accidents in the relatively mere singular, I think it's horrible and I can empathise with the victims in such nightmare situations, but then I get on with my day as though nothing happened. I've only ever cried at one funeral because it connected with me on a deeply personal level; and I've been dry-eyed at the funeral of a little girl who died only hours after being born. It doesn't make a person evil or socio/psychopathic or anything else other than human.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
