I subscribe to some pet subs to see cute pictures of cats and dogs to improve my mood and then every tenth post or so is “my poor dead cat”. I hate it, I never knew your catdog and now im slightly sad that its dead. Now I have to unsubscribe from all these cute pet subs cause y’all can’t not talk about how dead your pets are. Maybe join a support group or something.
upvoted for having such a stone cold unpopular opinion haha
Do people like seeing those posts?? I’m not so rude to tell people to keep their grieving to themselves, but I’m 100% with OP that they bring down the whole mood when you just wanna look at some cute dogs
Yup. I thought OP was spot on and have always felt the same. I view those subs to see animals being cute and be happy about it. I’m sorry for their loss, but that is not cute or happy.
it feels like there’s just peer pressure to act like you’re fine with it, if you say you don’t like it you’re a horrible selfish person
but like bro if you come to someone’s birthday party and start talking about how your grandpa carked it last week you’re going to be asked to leave
This reminds me of the most unpleasant Thanksgiving I personally experienced. There were several factors that ruined the day but, I completely checked out mentally during dinner as one of the guests was talking about inheriting a cat from someone who died and how the cat was now dying. The thing I was most thankful for that year was going home.
Like seeing them? No. Understand that someone is grieving, and probably doesn’t have anyone to vent to if they’re posting to some tiny social media site about their loss? Yes. It’s easy to wish them well, and probably help them a lot through a very hard time.
