PFB? Is this self absorbed or not?

[GotMooMilk]

A friend sent me this screenshot of a mutual friends insta (appreciate we sound 13 years old at this stage). She’s worried it’s a dig at her as she’s had a lot going on herself which she hasn’t shared with anyone and she got a pointed message from our pregnant friend and then this appears on her SM.
This is all pathetic and weird but why oh why would someone make that post in the first place? Why would everyone you know check in constantly (bar previous loss, high risk pregnancy, HG etc etc which this friend hasn’t had). The world doesn’t revolve around you, pregnant or not. Right?

Agree with you and can't bare these types of posts. Pretend you didn't see it and never mention it again. If someone wants to make a dig enough they can make it directly or not at all.

Hugely self absorbed. Your mutual friend (the one who posted that) sounds like a serious pain in the arse.

I don’t really understand the post? You’ve got no idea who this is about or what your friends intentions are behind this.
But also

Its not weird to check in on friends, pregnant or not.

it's just a copy and paste job and best ignored.

It's v passive aggressive but I found it hard to have a decent sense of perspective when pregnant. It's a rollercoaster. I wouldnt have said anything to friends but I might have thought it at times.

Interesting how she likens pregnancy to speak kind of traumatic life event. It’s normal for friends to ask how each other are so if one is pregnant you’d naturally be asking how they are to include the pregnancy; I wouldn’t expect that constantly and it’s a two sided thing but if she’s not asked her how she is during an entire pregnancy that’d be surprising from a friend

I agree and said that to friend who was worried.

Interesting that you've left the person that initially posted it's Insta username on your screenshot - not once but twice.

You are either a truly dreadful friend that has (accidentally or not) made it easy for the 'mutual friend' to find this, or you are trying to drive traffic to someone's Instagram.

She hasn’t, it’s a repost if some generic ‘inspirational quote’. The insta handle isn’t the friend.

I wouldn't worry about what somebody so massively self absorbed thought of me anyway.

Looks like a copy and paste. No idea what you'd achieve with that.

Blame the pregnancy hormones and ignore the post

This. It's a shared generic quote have cropped my friends details out...

Its probably some cut and paste garbage.

Scroll on and ignore.

I really value when people check in about things that are nothing to do with my being pregnant.

New job, summer plans, etc. To be honest, the person who annoys me is the one who treats me like a walking womb. I'm not her friend, I am pregnant woman, who can only be asked pregnant questions.

Really? Ok. Odd that you didn't crop out the other person's insta details as well while you were doing that

Why would she though? It’s not a personal account it’s just an account with thousands of shitty quotes.

I took a look at the insta page. It is vomit inducing and made me fear for the writer's mental health. She is clearly positioning herself as some sort of 'Mama' guru.
But it screams 'I'm depressed' to me.
Life is just not like that. If your mutual friend is taking inspiration from her then I would be seriously rethinking the friendship as she clearly has poor judgement.

Unless you are Missaywhatsreal and you've just done this for traffic? 😆. In which case I apologise if I've been rude but sorry - it's not for me.

No it’s not odd. The original influencer account that posted it deliberately added their details as part of the picture so that it would be visible when other people shared it.

OP I think your friend sounds very self absorbed. Yes it might be a dig at other friend, but it’s best for her to ignore it.

Misssaywhatsreal would be probably be after OP for copyright infringement if she cropped her details out. Along with lengthy posts about how hurtful it is when people steal your hard work 😂

Your friend sounds very self absorbed. She is pregnant, not ill.

Some people go completely mental in pregnancy, and seem to believe they’re something truly special. It’s hilarious. They’re probably the ones that are still mental about it when someone else is pregnant later on.

Laugh at them. Avoid them.

Hate this quote. Why, as an adult woman, would anyone be expecting their friends/acquaintances to constantly be reaching out to check in on them. People aren't mind readers, if you need help ask for it but don't sit there fuming because someone hasn't asked how you are today.

Just the idea of giving your friends 'a pass' because 'they don't know what it's like'. Bleugh!

There’s an insta name on the image, that’s not your friend is it?
