Narcissism is not posting photos of your life or sharing your experiences. What IS narcissistic is looking at pictures of a tragic time in someone’s life and feeling uncomfortable, then being so deeply unevolved and selfish that you cannot deal with your feelings and lashing out at the grieving person.
You act like this is something that only celebrities do. Its really, really common. A good friend of mine had a premature baby who lived only a few hours, and she knew beforehand it would. She had her three babies, husband, and the grandparents there and there were professional photos taken and shared to social media.
Agree about turning off comments, it’s what Vanessa Bryant did after Kobe’s death. But I think part of her wanting to post the stark reality of her miscarriage on social media was to help destigmatize it. So many women go through it and feel they have somehow failed.
I think there’s a difference in offering opinions compared to simply judging what another person does and writing it off as narcissistic.
Doesn’t it make more sense for the anti-choice people to be the baby eaters? They're the ones ensuring a supply.
I’m a fairly private person, and don’t post on social media that much (a lot of that is because I don’t like the way I look in pictures, not because I’m better than people who do), but Chrissy Teigen posting about her miscarriage (or even a regular person posting about her miscarriage) is hardly exhibitionist or…
lol right? says they can’t imagine going after someone like this, then proceeds to go after them.
Everyone deals with this in their own way. What worked for you and your wife isn’t everyone’s way.

I don't know how you can see someone grieving and call it thirsty and fake? Non-celebrity friends of mine had a stillbirth recently and shared the story and images of their child because it was healing for them to share. They also wanted to help remove some of the shame and stigma that many couples face talking about…
In the very early days of photography, the only photo you might have is after a person died. Memento Mori Victorian death photos were quite common.
Just stop. You don’t get to dictate how people grieve a loss.
I’m so sorry. Heartbreaking.
You should have stopped at “I’m not saying that hating on someone’s pain is cool”.
Eh I don’t think he’s as smart as everyone says he is, including Dershowitz.
Yes, I think you’re right. The loss of any wanted pregnancy is awful, but god, I can’t begin to imagine.
I’m not one of the Chrissy superfans, but I think it’s super brave and loving of her to post openly about this when it’s still such a stigmatized subject. October is pregnancy & infant loss awareness month, and many of the replies to Chrissy on Twitter do a great job of illustrating why we need to be having these…
Nah, that’s always related to any story about Subway.
You listed several examples of Subway getting dunked on but somehow missed the time they hinged an entire decade long advertising campaign on fat shaming Americans, headlining the effort with a random dude who turned out to be a pedophile.
