Why do women post about having still borns on social media

Like damn it’s 9 AM I’m not trying to be depressed all day. Might as well be watching a Tom Rinaldi special. I get it you’re sad but damn the rest of us don’t need our day ruined. Anybody else know people that do shite like this?

For attention, nothing else. Same reason most social media exists.

Social media turns everything into a contest. Even hardship

I’ve seen one single girl do it. Do you think that’s going to attract a man? It’s weirdly offputting

It’s how they let you know they got vaccinated

In this day and age, getting attention and being a victim rules all.

Have you ever met a woman before? They live for attention. They had a whole movement called #MeToo for fricks sake

I've gone back and forth on this. At the end of the day, while I wouldn't do it, people handle grief in different ways.

So you decided to come ruin our days too? Keep that shite where it belongs: on FB. And if you decide to be on FB then that’s what you get.

When your culture spends 90% of its time glued to social media, that's what happens. I won't question how a mother grieves after losing a child, though. I wouldn't share the news on social media myself, but it's an incredibly sad situation that causes people to do strange things sometimes.

This is the only social media you need: F250s, knuckle checks, and OT10s

attention!

It might be for attention, but I can't be too hard on people who are grieving. That's something I could never imagine having to go through. I would never, ever put that on social media, but grief can make people do odd things.

For attention
I'm okay with this kind off attention seeking. my wife (no pics) needed some counseling and advice from someone other than me when she lost a child in utero , Specifically, other women who experienced the same thing. For some reason its just accepted that nobody talks about it,

During times of tragedy, people want to be empathized with to be reminded they’re not alone. This is understandable
Unfortunately, social media has distanced and destroyed many of the necessary interpersonal elements of this need to the point where human interaction and emotional connection now happens exclusively online, in a hollow bastardized form of what it is meant to be.

Attention. I have one ex school mate that posts the pic of her dead baby every year on the anniversary. She gets a hundred “thoughts and prayers” from her friends and she responds to every one.

I can see someone on social media say something like, "my unborn died yesterday". simply because if they do not they would have friends continually asking how the pregnancy is going. Or maybe have a close friend disclose it, idk. But, I can see how it needs to be said.

I have a FB friend who recently posted a photo of a gravestone and balloons with the caption "Happy Heavenly 10th Birthday...." Clearly it was the grave of her child that died shortly after birth.
Obviously that had to be an unimaginable crushingly sad experience. And there is no doubt she loved the child even though it only lived for a few hours. But I will never understand the need to post something like that on FB other than to garner sympathy and attention. The deceased child is obviously never going to see the post and can't personally be wished Happy Birthday by well-wishers.
Perhaps it is just my nature as an introvert, but I can't imagine needing, or desiring attention for what would be one of the saddest moments of my life.

Having watched a few women go through it, if getting some crying emojis or skin-deep sympathy from people they barely know helps them move past it, let em have it.
That's one time when a comment section filled with women saying "happened to me too" might actually be helpful

Here's my take:
Our culture, particularly the female element, lives their life on social media and has internalized attention seeking, getting likes, etc. as an integral part of life. As guys I think we look at isolated examples and go "well that's ridiculous/gross/etc." because in our mind they're out there making the conscious decision to go get attention for tragedy/whatever.
But I don't think that's it - it's not ancillary to real life, it is real life. It's all they know. They don't know how to celebrate without seeking attention for success. They don't know how to grieve without seeking attention for grief.
If you live your life in a certain way 99% of the time you're going to do the same thing in the 1% outlier times and not think anything of it.
