There’s nothing wrong with being proud of your hard work and accomplishments. And it can be good to OWN your deficiencies. But there are FINE LINES throughout.
Someone asked the internet, “What is the dumbest thing people take pride in?”
And here are some of the responses:
1. When people are proud to say they DON’T read . . . or haven’t read a book since high school.
2. Not knowing how to use computers or any tech, or caring to learn the basics.
3. Working themselves to death, and not taking time for themselves.
4. Not sleeping enough.
5. Being unhealthy.
6. Being “SO busy” . . . but also: Being “SO lazy.”
7. Drinking or smoking a lot.
8. Drinking and driving.
9. Not changing their kids’ diapers.
10. Never cooking, because they aren’t good at it.
11. The number of followers they have on social media.
12. Being “brutally honest” . . . especially when it’s more about being brutal.
13. Being “right” . . . especially when they’re wrong.
14. The performance of their favorite sports teams.
15. Their lawn.
16. Their “body count.” Or almost any other aspect of their sex life.
