Re: Are You A ‘Show Off’?

I despise "show-offs" - I usually refer to them, derogatorily, as the "nouveau riche" or the "petit bourgeoisie" .....

Do you lack confidence?
Have you never mentioned that you went to a public school. One of the best in the area you lived in?

Re: Are You A ‘Show Off’?

I can't show off at all...even if there are things I am proud of. I am very good at at accepting compliments though

Pixie, You could maybe show off about the number of posts you’ve posted since joining here a short time ago that have catapulted you to a ‘Senior Member’!

Not long until you are a ‘Chatterbox’ .... then you’ll know, you’ve arrived!!

Being a "Show Off" depends on other peoples opinions.

Re: Are You A ‘Show Off’?

Being proud and showing off are two different things. You can be proud of your grandchildren or something you have created but telling people how much your house is worth or how much your expensive kitchen cost is just showing off. Most people are not impressed plus however well off we think we are there is always someone better off.

Re: Are You A ‘Show Off’?

I don't consider myself to be a show off really although I do like to show off my gifts and cards so perhaps I am a show off, hmmmmmmmmm.

I would definitely be a show off if I was a grandma, I'd be sharing proud pics of my grandchild, ahhhhhhh one can dream
