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]
Canned generic superficial comments are not "nice". [/quote]

Why are you assuming that it is canned and generic?  I would assume, if 10 people said it, that OP looks pretty good.  On the other hand, I fully fully disagree with your premise.  Try to bring good in the world.  Compliment everyone you see.  For most people, it brings a ton of joy.  People like you are just there to make life harder for everyone, especially yourself.  Learn to take a compliment.  Then learn to give them.  Frequently![/quote]
Because most people look like they got hit by a bus post partum. [/quote]
