Reply to comment by Tvmouth in LPT Request - how to respond to people who constantly try to one-up you and diminish your accomplishments? by idkifik
"Stop talking about yourself". I'm just curious if someone is happy about an accomplishment they just had/made and they have to not mention it because why? Like "I got a promotion at work today!" to their friends? Or "I bought a house finally!". Are you saying people should not share their victories in life because of "one uppers"? Personally I'm happy to share joy with people, and happy to hear their happiness!. But can't if they never share their happiness. Your post seem to say folks should just shut up about anything they are proud of. That's not the same as a one upper at all.

That's a good way to show you care more about yourself and what you can get out of circumstances than you do about your date.

Reply to LPT: If you can, Don't apply for a job that is complaining about "severe employee shortages" or the like. There's a reason they can't retain employees, and you don't want to have to find out what that reason is. by Froggy_hop
True. And the old "nobody wants to work anymore" has been around for a long time. Came across this a few days ago:
