Dear nelum:

“What I learned from my hardworking parents to be humble and honest… But if I engage with these values in public people would think I am weak and worthless. People who love to boast themselves are appreciated and loved by society”-

– it is not my experience that people who boast are loved. Not at all.

Maybe what you think of as boasting is not boasting, maybe?

And regarding being humble, if it means acting inferior to others, that is not humble, it is acting inferior, less than. And it makes a person angry, to act less than others.

Words, such as boasting, humble, and good, better define these words, to be clear what they mean to you and being clear, rethink. You will not lose what is important to you, if you rethink and reconsider. Instead, you will gain peace of mind, being clear.

If you would like to do it here, to define these terms, please do, I will read and reply if you do.
