To think the UK’s obsession with “humility” actually holds talented people back?

[SubtleAmbitionJay]

We’re taught to play small, to be “grateful”, “humble” and never talk about what we’re good at. Meanwhile, louder people with half the skill often rise faster.

AIBU to think we confuse modesty with mediocrity and it’s hurting those who actually deliver?

Tall poppy syndrome.

I'm foreign. I try to lean into it. I can't be doing with endless self-deprecation and going round the houses when I am actually good at something / know more than the next person / need to correct someone else's mistake.
