This thread which is all about being open and talking about things you like about yourself which isn't really socially acceptable (unlike self-degradation). But I actually think it's a good thing that people are discouraged from talking themselves up. I have many good qualities but I feel if they're real I shouldn't have to tell anyone. For example, (and I'm going to have to contradict myself to make one) I'm lucky enough to have substantially higher than average intelligence but I don't tell people that (except for just there), they notice themselves, and I'd much rather have it that way than have them taking my word for it.
Sorry to Scrooge all over the thread, the goodwill can continue now.
