You remind me of my husband - not in a weird way (!) - he is not afraid to put himself forward and do something unconventional to get himself noticed. I'm the complete opposite! I continually put myself down, joke about my failings, and, living in America, people don't understand self-deprecation - they just think you're admitting to being terrible. I will use this article as inspiration for 2024!
Haha Mel I did wonder where this comment was going! And that’s super interesting about Americans. I always thought it odd watching TV where the kids in school would be doing show and tell and so confident. As an adult visiting the US I felt like American kids think they’re adults and seem super confident whereas UK kids hide behind their parents if an adult talks to them! But yes! Inspo for 2024 for sure!
