Are we becoming too sensitive?

I too think it is a marketing ploy, or an attempt to counter the growing annoyance people are feeling about the numbers of unwanted emails being sent to them. Yes, it's true, you can just delete them, but it means extra e-mails to go through and it's such a waste of time.

Every day there are moments of sadness about the death of loved ones, and my feeling is that seeing an advert about Mother's Day cannot compare with the sometimes complicated emotions that accompany grief. However, that is my personal feeling and I understand that others will find such reminders upsetting.

I tend to agree with the poster who says that being sensitive to the feelings of others is a good thing - if it is genuinely felt and not just a marketing ploy, of course.

I find the term "snowflake" insulting and those that use it seem to think that being kind and sensitive to the feelings of others if a bit of a joke. I'm sure getting a good night's sleep is not the answer for people suffering with severe anxiety and/or depression, or those experiencing overwhelming grief.

Is it about being sensitive or is it just about getting so man irrelevant emails that just irritate us? I’ve always viewed it as the latter!

Its just plain old advertising...delete them..

I don’t get upset about emails but I do get upset about losing my mother some six months ago. I don’t think I’ll be upset on Mother’s Day because I have my own children, but then again, maybe I will. We did have our difficulties but I loved her. I’m going to scatter her ashes, and my lovely dad’s too, this coming weekend. It’s been made more difficult because I have an extremely difficult and nasty and unkind sister. My husband and I have done absolutely everything to clear the estate, empty her flat, sell the flat. My sister has done nothing but was extremely nasty to me about the money. I won’t go into details but she was out of order. That upset me more than Mother’s Day emails which I just delete.

Yes. I was very pleased to be asked and unsubscribed from father's Day emails
