Except he’s not a normal adult with regular baggage, he’s a dude with PTSD. Having a ritual like visiting a grave is quite literally the most vanilla thing I can think of for somebody with that circumstance.
Not that I know many with that kind of baggage nor do I know how they spend their days. He’s highly functional anyways, you can just call that as a small detail about him. On the other hand, Sasuke thinking about revenge 24/7 definitely classifies as angst.
But you said “it’s like a response a normal adult would have” which it isn’t. Hell I don’t think a therapist wouldn’t even recommend having hours long rituals for PTSD
Like TAC mentioned earlier Sasuke a had target for his anger, Itachi who specifically goaded him into that. Kakashi’s became more internalized self hatred. It is seen when obito calls him out on his actions

1. Sociopaths can feel emotions
2. Kakashi didn´t make the ninja policy, and even part 1 sakura talks about it
3. Kakashi is clearly feeling bad about the situation, and shows guilt when Obito presses him on it.
An accurate portrayal of a sociopath would be young Zabuza, who wouldn´t be worried about a war going on, and wouldnt want to save Rin ever
1. This is pedantic, you know what I mean
2. The whole point of Naruto is that people should aspire to break bad policies lol. Kakashi being blind to that doesn’t really absolve him. Obito quite literally admonishes him and is the one in the right in this situation. There’s a reason why Kakashi adopted his philosophy righ after
3. Which is why I said semi sociopathic
