I see. So you think you've never met a winner who could say so. OK, so you have as much as said that you would never nor have you ever declared yourself to be a winner at anything.
For you to do so or have done so would have instantly identified you as a loser who only thought he was a winner, but must be just kidding himself.
Somehow that comes as no surprise.
No, not quite. I have never met someone who went around proclaiming themselves a winner who, in fact, was one. Not that I haven't heard someone say they won this or won that; that is a different thing entirely.
No, usually people who go around saying "I am such a winner!" are compensating for fairly substantial dearths in their own psyche or life.

We have uncovered one lacking quality already: Your reading comprehension. Never once did I say I would not state that I won this or won that. But one thing I won't go around doing is crowing and strutting around that I am "such a winner". Even if my belief system ran that particular way -- and it doesn't, I try instead to be someone who improves the lots and lives of people around me -- that would be tacky, gauche, and would reveal a deep-seated insecurity on my part.
I have self confidence, but I don't feel the need to parade around with self-appointed tin badges pinned to my chest.
