Talking freely is indeed becoming scarce, just last week I was talking with my boss about fundraising campaign and doing a pregnancy picture contest and she said some people might say we are insensitive because some women are trying to conceive. It’s like walking on eggshells these days. Especially on social media.
Diversity is good. We can’t all be the same, however, knowing our differences and how best to support each other makes living better.
It is crazy, isn't it? I know someone who was upset about my wife saying that she fell pregnant in a couple weeks, because it took them a couple years of trying. It is all "me, me, me" - but they have no sensitivity to others, making my wife feel bad talking about being happy about being pregnant.
Sometimes I feel like telling people “ the world doesn’t revolve around you” but of course that will be too mean. There has to be a way to let people know that because someone is celebrating doesn’t mean they are mocking you. They are just happy and should not have to look sad to please you. Being happy for others when we are sad ourselves shows how mature we are.
Unfortunately, they will see it as an attack - because in their head, the world does revolve around them.
