to be fed up of people being PROUD of themselves?

[amidonefor]

Every TV show seems to have people banging on about how proud they are of what they've done.

It seems so big-headed - so immodest and boastful.

Perhaps this is more about poor usage of language

The BBC has an ad campaign for itself running on the theme of Run yourself proud, ride yourself proud, punch yourself proud, row yourself proud, wank youself proud....

that kind of thing - I'm living in the past I guess, where pride was a sin and modesty was a virtue

Pride comes before a fall

Fall yourself proud

bah

We are turning into Americans.
Where's the humility?

Unfortunately that's the culture we seem to be living in, me me me me me. It's like that on the commercials, you you you you you you, people are obsessed with themselves, they need to feel special all the time, there's something sadly missing.

I totally agree with the fb mentality of banging on about everything. A lot of people are self absorbed. I hate fb. It's like everyone thinks they're famous, are their own publicist and thinks they have an audience.

God my ex and his gf... Would totally out myself if I gave examples but they did have an 'achievements' board on pinterest!

Oh and the people who tweet about how many miles they've run and how fast with these apps. Or tweet about how many new followers they've got?! Who gives a shiny shite?!
