"Happy together, not happy then leave"

I spent a long time visiting the personal pages of some friends who are active on social networks.

A former colleague shared a photo of a corner of the red book. I was the one who witnessed the installment payment process after 6 years of working day and night, doing all the housework. In the comments below, friends sent congratulations because he deserved it. There were also people "asking for luck" to have a new house like him.

This boast gives my friend recognition and motivation for those who love him to work hard. It is well deserved.

"I want to show off a little bit of what I've bought to make my wife and children less miserable. Whoever loves me and knows that I saved up to buy a house will be happy. Whoever is mean or jealous, I won't post it for them to see. They keep those negative thoughts in their hearts, they won't say them directly to me. I just share and rejoice with those who love me first. When we're happy, we're happy, when we're not happy, we're not happy," my friend said.

Another couple, after years of trying to find a child, spent so much sweat, tears, pain and faith. Last year, they burst into tears and shared a black and white ultrasound photo of a tiny life.

At the beginning of the year, everyone congratulated the family photo of three members on the baby's first month with wishes and gifts. A few days later, the wife posted a photo of their baby, how adorable.

Now, just over 2 months old, the baby already has a fan club, if he doesn't appear for a while, his aunts call his name.

Looking at pictures of your children growing up is also a pleasure and happiness for others. Being addicted to your children, showing off your children brings joy to the whole community.

Thousands of ways to show off, attract thousands of joys

A random caption unrelated to the photo of the car steering wheel, but everyone sent congratulations to my friend's family for buying a four-wheeled vehicle, to protect the five-member family from the rain and sun.

"Some people say I'm showing off my wealth. But I'm really showing off and I'm happy to show off the results of my hard work. My friends and family congratulate me.

Some people even sent me private messages to ask about my health and congratulations, and they also asked me about my work experience and my experience in choosing a car. That boasting made me very proud," my friend replied when I asked, "Be careful, people might say you're showing off."

There is another university friend who is successful in her career, has a peaceful family and is beautiful. She often posts pictures of beautiful scenery in big tourist cities without revealing her face, just to share her interest in traveling and her different travel experiences in each region.

It's not hard to read comments like "so cool", "wish I could go like you", "good luck with your feet", "so classy, so beautiful"... Showing off without showing off, not showing off but showing off, subtly sharing about personal life, connecting people with the same interests as you.

Somewhere there is still a group of people who live in seclusion that we often joke about as "hidden tycoons". They still study to be better, work to accumulate more but do not share much about their lives on social networks. However, they are still satisfied in their own way.

On the other hand, "reciting poverty and telling hardships" is also a way to share and some people will sympathize when they see themselves in that story, while others will feel disgusted when they have to read negative things.

There are many different ways to show off your personality and your need to share without affecting or harming anyone.

How to filter information and balance emotions and behaviors is up to the receiver's freedom, so that they can always draw useful lessons based on other people's stories.
