- TheSpiceIsLife 2y agoScale matters. You read the obituaries in your local paper, “oh, so and so has passed away”, you don’t know them particularly well, might or might not go to the funeral. Posting it to social media, then thinking if whoever doesn’t contact you to… what? “Sorry for your loss”? “My condolences” … hurts your relationship with that person? Call me old fashioned, but… Is it narcissistic in here, or is it just me?

That's not what anyone said, you're out here fighting ghosts. > And if someone doesn't reach out, it will hurt the relationship a little even if I'm not conscience of it because when I think of people who were there for me during a tough time, the friend who never knew my parent died wouldn't come to mind.
- GoblinSlayer 2y agoIt's implied, "And if someone doesn't reach out to say “Sorry for your loss”, it will hurt the relationship a little".
- oblio 2y agoIt's very country specific. I'm from Romania and I think there were obituaries in newspapers, but I'm having a hard time thinking of people I know that did it.
