Thanks for your comment/advice.
Firstly, your advice, while holds true for your generation, maybe difficult to apply now in this modern generation when ways of meeting of people and dating have changed. Social media, gadgets, technology etc have changed the way we work, study, date, and many other things. You have no idea how the younger generation find it so tough to secure jobs and get the ideal partners they want, now. & I believe it will be way more challenging in the future, be it during the dating phase or after marriage. At work, it's also the same; more and more challenging.
Secondly, I rather have over-confidence than the lack of it. While I'm "over-confident" ( & I wasn't born with it; I built it up year after year), I'm also strategic in my thinking and action. People like this, are called "assertive" -- having or showing a confident and forceful personality, not being frightened to say what they want or believe.
Thirdly, I might be young physically in age, but I went through a lot and accomplished a lot for my age. Have you heard of anyone who did a pioneering research in Malaysia, at age 24 that have high commercial value? Or, becoming a lecturer at age 25? Or, owning a property at age 23? You haven't come across people like this, and judging them by their age & dismissing their claims as "You're still young, so your opinion is flawed" is a logical fallacy.
Apart from these three points, I agree with the rest you shared. After all, there are things that only time can teach us, in the journey of life.
dont think that is overconfident per se.... i find it more like a certain kind of inferiority complex. see, highly successful people will not spread around to the world that they are successful, let alone in social media/forum that lacks credibility.. this type of blowing up its own trumpet to gain admiration, is more like a self-preservation technique.. which i can understand pyschologically. as mentioned, you had a bad upbringing with dark past, what you are trying to achieve is overcome the emotionally challenge through means of self-admiration and publicity. look, you may be a high achiever, but i rarely see a really successful person indulge in such an extragavant self-praise behaviour. and for that, i really admire you.Firstly, your advice, while holds true for your generation, maybe difficult to apply now in this modern generation when ways of meeting of people and dating have changed.
