With self-promotion and LOOK AT MEEE!
Yeah, that would be you creampuff.
Let’s set specific people aside, including myself, and merely examine your mind set. Again, purely philosophical conversation, devoid of any specific people here:
So tell me, where do you get the idea the self promotion is bad?
Who ever became well known in the history of the world without first being unknown?
Who have we ever heard of, in any walk of life, - business, media, acting - who did not self promote at some point?
If someone isn’t willing to promote themselves, why would they expect anyone else to ever do it?
And why is paid advertising okay and earned adversiting (self promotion) somehow evil?
Where did you get the idea that having a bunch of money or a famous name to start with is somehow inherently superior?
By your own standards, Chelsea Clinton and Junior Russert are legit, because they entered the arena famous, but no one else is?
Why is it that you loathe those who want to build up themselves, while taking pride in your attempts to tear them down?
Where is this illness coming from?
I’m serious, have you seen a professional about this? I think they are doing amazing things in medicine today.
Reminds me of how HL Mencken described puritanism:
“Puritanism - the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.”
