People are immensely selfish and don’t want to admit the extensive societal structures that help us get to and be who we are. If anyone ever speaks about “self-made” anything, you should walk away. It’s okay to be proud of your accomplishment, but there’s a way to and not to talk about it.
Maybe I’m sensitive to it because of my parents who obsessed over looking like a success and better than everyone else, to the detriment of their family.
