I don't know why they would think that. Because then I have to be like "Oh wow, congratulations, I'm happy for you." ...if I found out on Facebook or something, I can just hide their post from my timeline and not have to say anything, which is obviously easier. And yeah, this whole thing has made me realize how un intuitive and just stupid most people are. People will talk to me about their kids/babies like nothing ever happened to me. And like I'm not dealing with subsequent infertility and the probability that I will never have another child apart from the one who died.
No, I don't tell people it hurts me.
Maybe they expect me to be the type of better person who would actually be happy for them. Maybe it's my issue that I'm not, I don't know.
My heart bleeds for you. Losing a baby is a tough thing, as I well know. I hope for the best of what life has to offer you.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
