What is the deal with people acting all excited about things which have no effect on their lives in the least. You had a child ? Good for you ! Not all that exciting for many other people. So why do people carry on as if such events are actually important to them. Or is it just me who doesn't feel anything.
because for the same reason many feel when they lose a love one. its part of being c socially connected to others. At extreme of opposite are sociopaths.
Empathy. Sharing the feelings of another person. Being joyful for someonelse's joy is simply part of the human experience. Try to lighten up a bit, be happy for other people's happiness. It really does improve your life.
How does your co workers daughter (who lives eight states away) giving birth to her first child affect you, a person who has never even laid eyes on her in the least. I bet you don't really care.

I wouldn't care if it was my best friend so hear hear on this.
What I find amusing / annoying are folks that refer to their pets as "fur babies" and such. We've got dogs, bunnies, fish & chickens, but we don't elevate them to a human like level.
Also strange are folks who don't have kids, but act like their niece/nephew are the most amazing kids.
Finally, how about those parents of only children who just love to go on & on & on about how perfect their little darling is. Yes, we realize your child is simply amazing & far superior, now stop blabbing about them constantly.

It ain't just you. I've been bombarded by baby announcements and engagements on my Facebook so much recently I just wanna puke. It is so annoying to have people gushing over their happiness over their life events when you yourself can't even get a damn date. I have no idea why I even care at all, I do not want children and I don't think I'm cut out for marriage. If America wasn't force feeding the idea of marriage and children on everyone it would not be so bad.

I would be happy for my co-worker and be able to empathize with his or her joy atirtysh birth of a grandchild. You seem like the one who's self centered here.

Self centered because he is minding his own business?
