If you were to get something very nice.. say a new car... or a big diamond... and you were really excited about it.. would you show people? Or would you be afraid of being thought a show off. OR.. would you wait for them to notice. Should people be ashamed of having nice things?
 

Not the kid. :playful: If you have nice things, people will notice without you having to show off. Then you can say, "Why, thank you! How nice of you to notice!"

Like your Superman suit. Wow! Awesome!

So if you get something really nice... you shouldn't show it to anyone.. but wait for them to notice... because it's showing off.. to show it..
 
I enjoy nice things more if others don't notice them. I have good quality paint brushes for one thing, and no one would know that except a couple artists in the family if they see them. I feel uncomfortable if people say much about my things. One exception is if I find something real cool and interesting at a garage sale I like to show people and talk about it. Do you know what this is? Have you ever used one? Or if I find a neat old book then there is no shutting me up for awhile. :)

Sort of a sore spot at our house is my husband has an old Mustang he loves and he likes to drive it places. We have no other car so I always want to go places in the pick up. I feel very uncomfortable with people hanging out their car windows and giving him the thumbs up or honking their horns. Wherever we go they approach us and ask questions or make comments. I told him (he knew I was teasing) that I hate to go to Wal-mart in that car as he has all the old ladies in their walkers trying to chase him down or worse yet are the ones in those motorized shopping carts buzzing around him. I KNOW that many old ladies haven't owned a Mustang as their first car or whatever other stories they want to tell him. I just put the handi-cap place card up in the window and get away from the car as fast as I can. He just doesn't understand why I feel like I do. To me its embarrassing. If I were a rich person I would live in a real nice house with sort of a plain exterior and I'd buy a car like that too. My backyard would be much nicer than my front yard.
 
I think its fine to show friends something you have that your pleased with.... like a new car, new house, new piece of clothing that you love..... it becomes annoying if you gloat, are smug and flaunting it though. Then no one shares your joy.
 
I don't want to show off but I learned a new skill posting to sf from my phone. Also how to buy stuff as I have to replace my pc if I care not to go blunder from scrinchin my 3eyes
 
I see nothing wrong with showing folks nice things. I never have any to do so, though. lol
