Our people rarely have something in abundance, rather the opposite. Through hard work, we “grow” our careers and business all our lives, develop and use useful contacts, and also try to spend our free time as fun as possible.
People who have “broken into” success often cannot eradicate from themselves a simple person and complexes associated with his lifestyle. Therefore, any acquisitions and events for him become an occasion to be proud or show off to others, they say, appreciate what I have become. They usually talk about such people behind their backs "from rags to riches."
The desire to emphasize their peculiarity in the eyes of others inappropriately and often degrades other people. Therefore, a bad habit must be strictly controlled so as not to lose colleagues and good friends.
So, consider 10 “brags” that fall under the taboo.
10. The number of subscribers
These modern little things with social networks are sometimes so ridiculous and absurd that you wonder. The person both signed and unsubscribed, and his presence in your “list of fans” does not guarantee a special relationship. Perhaps he is just interested in the product that you offer. Or is it more convenient to monitor your work, blog, etc. But this does not mean that a person does not close your page for hours. Moreover, many "stars" of popular networks do not know their subscribers either by name or by person, but simply randomly add "for the general mass." Ghostly figures make a person popular, or true adherents who are ready to support a public person even in difficult moments of life.
9. Zodiac sign
It is extremely stupid to brag about astrological virtues, because a person does not choose under what sign to be born, and he can no longer influence this. Thus, being proud of your Zodiac, you put yourself in the position of “God” in front of the interlocutor. But in fact, you need to compare people of the same sign, and then you modestly swallow a lump in your throat, because Pisces, Maidens, Scorpions, etc. are more and more successful and smarter than you. In addition, each representative of the sign has its own positive and negative traits. If you, Leo, are proud of your popularity and ability to dominate, then you will find yourself completely powerless in front of home and household Virgins, as well as Gemini with their oratory. Do not be funny - hide such a "brag" to hell.
8. Famous relatives
Another stupid reason to "fluff the tail" in front of the audience. Many people speculate on the achievements of their relatives in order to cover up their “rear” in case of mistakes, crimes and attempts to get a job. So what are you bragging about? Own inability to solve problems? Dependence on more experienced and intelligent people who, out of kindness of heart, are pulling you, a burden, along with you? All the successes of relatives belong only to them, and only they have the right to talk about them with pride and dignity. But you should be equal and keep quiet, because "silence is gold."
7. Your sports team
Wealthy people like to sponsor sporting events, and some get their own teams. And then they begin to "measure" with their own kind, well, just like teenagers biceps. The only question is that you can brag about the really famous team that won the championship in a number of competitions and more than once confirmed their competence. And if you have not yet grown up to sponsorship, but for now you are only one of the local successful teams, that pride is also inappropriate. All achievements are common, because each player in one way or another makes a contribution. Talking about personal merits in teamwork is at least unethical. You can lose faithful associates and even crash if the racket reaches the ears of the trainer.
6. Car
For many decades, the presence of a foreign car has been a reason to boast of its status. Some young people specifically purchase sports cars or business-class cars in order to display fashion photos on Instagram or Facebook. And all this in order to show peers what allegedly "heights" have reached. But the most interesting thing is that the cities are already filled with similar machines, so people who are on a par with you and even better are just the sea. You won’t surprise the machine now. But many friends can be unpleasantly disappointed, realizing that you are simply showing others your income. Remember that really rich famous people are so used to a good life that they do not consider it necessary not to change their cars for better and more expensive ones, not to mention them at all.
5. Expensive shopping
With fashion acquisitions, following fashion, hanging with jewelry, you can surprise only a teenager who measures everything “by wrapping”. In this case, you will be no more than a bag of money, next to which you can profitably wrap up and gain popularity. The costs of branded items and unnecessary appliances are greatly undermining the budget - against this background, some stars and politicians even managed to go bankrupt! Spending thousands of dollars on a regular red handbag is just as stupid as changing an iPhone 7 series to an 8th one. The functionality of things does not change much, so your expenses go only to pathos and ostentatiousness. In the eyes of truly intelligent people, you will be a “fledgling chick”, a spender and a reveler, and not a mature, interesting person. Adults know the value of money.
4. Living conditions
You know, world values and very rich people are often ascetics. They go in high-quality, but ordinary clothes, drive in a comfortable (rather than luxurious) car, eat in a cafe and because of employment they rarely allow themselves resorts. Therefore, the "philistinism" with all the restaurants, Turkey and the golden trinkets has long faded into the background. In a society of successful people, they appreciate the culture of communication, etiquette, and the ability to competently submit themselves. They won’t hear about your fabulous expenses for clubs, beauty salons, trips and shopping. Decent people look and live with dignity, but in words do not emphasize their wealth.
3. Special night
Young people during gatherings are very fond of going into the memories of some special night. Most often, during her, either the first sexual intercourse occurred, or the participant got drunk to unconsciousness, or in general it is hooliganism. Nowadays, no one will remember how at night he stopped the deforestation, took the lost child to the police, or saved the girl from the robbers. You know, your stories about "stormy youth" cause people not only irony, but also pity, the desire to quickly shut you up. Do not look stupid and keep the tales of your unworthy immoral adventures to yourself.
2. Career and work
It is absolutely normal to speak about your work with dignity and enthusiasm, especially if you have worked hard for a long time to realize your dream. However, it’s ridiculous to describe your life’s path in detail and with emotions - you don’t give an interview to a fashion publication? For some people, work is a matter of life, a desire to make the world a better and more interesting place. Therefore, your stories about money, income and a high position on the career ladder will cause at least boredom, and even rejection. It is also inappropriate to brag about business successes for people who have long been in executive positions and are content with a modest salary. Do not forget that unemployed people may also be in the company - therefore restrain your ardor.
1. Relations
It is immoral and inhumane to paint your personal life in detail, and even more so to be proud of it. Unlike a purchased item, you do not own and do not rule in any way. Today he wants to be with you, and tomorrow gives attention to another, comes across a betrayal or debauch that will put you in a stupid position. It is important to always be sober about your relationship and not stick out happiness, because, as we know, it “loves silence”. If everything is fine with you, then keep silent, why do you need someone else's envy, gossip and jealousy.
The above-mentioned things in a decent society are mentioned in passing, but long conversations and discussions, and even more so boasting, cause rejection of the interlocutor. If you want to maintain your dignity and become an interesting person, learn more about others and talk less about your achievements. The fame of a successful person goes ahead of him, so there is no point in mentioning her at all.
