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]

Consider that is much more self centered to think anyone cares about your opinion of their body. Wanting to just be left alone/unbothered is not really self centered at all.[/quote]  It actually is.  Stay home if you can't handle people trying to be nice and polite to you.  Please don't bring your negativity to others.[/quote]
Toxic positivity.

Can you imagine, a woman feels like crap, has PPD, everyone around her: YOU LOOK AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING. [/quote]

Yes, the horror of everyone around you saying nice things to you when you feel sad and crappy.  I know when I’m feeling that way it’s much better for my mental health when people either a) ignore me or b) tell me how tired and unwell I look.
