Occasionally, falling ill and needing to be hospitalized is something that someone cannot control. However, some individuals may decide to share about their health status on platforms such as Facebook or Zalo.
The reasons behind this action may reflect a psychological factor, perhaps a desire to attract attention from others. However, it should be noted that this behavior does not always yield positive results and may put the person in difficult situations.
Why is this point of view possible? There are four reasons that we can contemplate, and those interested may consider them. However, these are just the personal views of the editor.
Point 1: To make others feel like you are seeking empathy
Taking pride in falling ill and having to be hospitalized in front of friends can be considered an attention-seeking and empathy-seeking action. Many people may perceive this behavior as selfish and aimed at attracting attention and care from others.
Instead of trying to genuinely make others care about their health, this behavior can create discomfort or dissatisfaction among friends. This can lead to discomfort or even doubts about the sincerity and motives of the person.
It is possible that one may lose some friends who genuinely care about them, or attract attention from those who are pretending or have ulterior motives… In reality, falling ill and being hospitalized should not be reasons for bragging or seeking empathy.
Everyone goes through stages of falling ill and needing to be hospitalized. It is a natural part of life and an unavoidable experience.
We should face our illnesses and hospitalizations with a normal mindset, without the need to exaggerate or amplify our health issues. At the same time, we should not expect or demand excessive attention and empathy from those around us.
Point 2: Seeking favors
Bringing gifts or money when visiting a patient is a common practice, but it also carries the risk of creating indebtedness. In Vietnamese culture, the fear of indebtedness is particularly significant.
Informing others about one’s health condition and hospitalization may make them feel responsible as friends, relatives, colleagues, or even superiors who need to visit you.
Bringing gifts such as fruits or nutritional supplements may make you owe them a favor. In society, owing a favor implies that you will have to repay it later.
However, visiting a patient should not become a compulsory or necessary action. Each person has their own life and schedule, along with personal challenges and pressures.
We need to respect the choices and desires of others, not impose their visits, not create a sense of indebtedness in them, and make efforts to minimize burdens and troubles for them.
Point 3: Disclosure of personal privacy
Hospitalization is a highly personal experience, closely related to health conditions, treatment details, and personal privacy. Sharing these with friends can generate excessive attention and outside speculation.
This behavior can invade your privacy, making some people want to know more details or even ask disrespectful or intrusive questions.
Some people may have sympathy and want to share words of encouragement or advice, but there are also those who may unintentionally or deliberately say hurtful things.
If you disclose information about your health condition and hospitalization to friends, you may be put under the spotlight and face various assessments and comments.
This can create discomfort and may affect your mood and mental well-being. Most importantly, protect your personal privacy and carefully consider before sharing information about your illness and hospitalization with the outside world.
Point 4: Disrupting your own rest period
Hospitalization usually aims at treatment and recovery, requiring a focus on resting and rejuvenating your health. Sharing this information can enable others’ concern, but it also opens up the possibility of being disturbed by phone calls or a large number of messages.
Interference from others can impact your rest and sleep. Furthermore, telling others about your hospitalization may create concerns and worries from them, leading them to want to visit you.
Although their concern is genuine, frequent visits can interfere with your treatment plan and rest time. In fact, the hospitalization process sometimes requires comprehensive focus on rest and recovery.
