Then you realize that people are trying to be nice to you.  You clearly don't deserve it.  What a self-centered shrew![/quote]

I want to apologize.  Now that I have read the other comments, I fully agree that you must be having some sort of post-partum issues and you should probably seek help.  It is fully irrational to be offended by such a nice compliment.  You should view your reaction as a red flag.[/quote]

Perhaps you should view your knee jerk response to tell a post partum woman that she does not deserve kindness and is a "self-centered shrew" as a red flag and ALSO seek professional help.[/quote]

It is a good point.  I am just really upset about people who are so self-centered that they view common compliments as offensive.  It not only brings negativity to the world in general, but it chills people from being nice.  I hadn't considered that maybe the new mom was generally a wonderful person who appreciates people being nice to her but is currently suffering from mental illness.[/quote]

Literally OP said in her post that she was hormonal and that was one of the reasons she wasn't liking the comments.

Are you currently postpartum? Are you currently very hormonal? If no, there was absolutely no cause to call OP names and tell her she doesn't deserve kindness. Your response was MUCH more unreasonable than OP's, even if OP's argument is debatable (some people like this, some people hate it, the truth is that the postpartum period can kind of suck and you need to give women going through it some grace).[/quote]
