When I watch a movie or TV show, I just don't get that emotionally involved. I mean, I can get excited, I can feel happy, I can feel a little scared, and I can even feel sad for some characters. But not to such an overwhelming extent that I lose control of my emotions.

I never get so excited that I jump up out of my seat and cheer.

I never get so scared that I get up an run out the theater.

It's just so hard for me to understand it as an adult. But I accept that others do cry at moves and such. My wife cries over next to nothing.
I can explain it.

You probably have close to zero empathy. It's just a social phenomenon that you may be immune to. Unfortunately, the typical personalities associated with a complete lack of empathy range from your 'loner' at the harmless end of the spectrum all the way to sociopaths

Just having a little fun at your expense.
