i realized today that i'm more comfortable at a funeral than a wedding. i think because i'm better at being somber than at having extroverted fun.

I've only been to one funeral as an adult, and it actually wasn't as somber as i thought it would be! barely anyone cried, and in fact there was a lot of smiles and laughter from the service to the burial to the lunch affair after. But i'm sure it's because it wasn't a sudden death; it was a slow painful one that I know everyone felt relief over despite the loss... But even so, I would prefer to attend a wedding over a funeral!
i've been to funerals that are like the one you're talking about, but the expectations at a funeral are different. even if it does lighten up, you can get away with not talking so much, and you can be happy that people are happy, rather than feeling out of place that you aren't part of the happy group.
