We often hear or read these lines towards people who we don't want association with, at least in that situation. We forgot to return to the words themselves. Let me talk about it.

Out of our dislike for the proud, the arrogant, and self-centered, we circled our way around to still satisfy our need for validation and/or enjoy the blessings and achievements we had. Unfortunately, it leads us to humblebragging, and it has a modern-day acceptable version of it.

My reflection on this topic.
