I ask this question, because despite having a successful and lucrative career, people have made comments recently.
So I had an altercation with my brother this weekend, during which he made some comments. He assumed I'm jealous of my friends because of their careers. I had a phone call with a friend, and she said things are finally starting to look up for me. And another with an ex, and he said I want to move companies because I want to work for a well know brand. All of these comments in a matter of days. I'm wondering, because I don't brag about my successes at work, people assume I'm struggling?? Or unsuccessful. It's really annoyed me, because I don't see why anyone would assume that when I'm in literally the best position out them all! I wouldn't trade places with any of them haha. But they all seem to equate success with the same things, none of which any of them have, if that makes sense. So, if I start bragging, perhaps it will give them something to chew on. If they knew the true extent of my career success they'd be absolutely green with envy. I don't tend to speak about certain aspects of my life, such as money or career because they don't have it, but they think I don't which is hilarious. So what do we think? I should I become a braggart?
