But here's the kicker...
The world rewards confidence, but not if you say you have it. Athletes celebrate loudly, entrepreneurs pitch themselves as messianic disruptors, and social media influencers base their entire brand on not being humble, ever.
But as a regular human being, you're expected to downplay everything.
Won a competition? Oh, I just got lucky. Got promoted? It's all because of my amazing team. Saved a baby from a burning building? Just doing my part.
God forbid you say, "I am actually really good at what I do."
Now you're arrogant, a narcissist, probably a sociopath.
