Why does it feel like nobody cheers when you succeed? In this video, I break down why sharing your wins at work or online often lands with crickets—or worse, side-eye. From Social Comparison Theory (Festinger, 1954) to the “Tall Poppy Syndrome,” research shows that many people struggle to celebrate others’ success, and envy often drives silent resentment. Studies in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin and Gallup data (84% of employees disengaged worldwide) explain why your progress can make others uncomfortable. I’ll also share practical strategies—like framing your achievements with value, choosing the right audience, and celebrating privately—to protect your confidence and keep momentum. If you’ve ever felt unsupported in your career, business, or personal growth, this episode will give you clarity, resilience, and science-backed tools to navigate success in a world that doesn’t always clap.
