One day, I saw a colleague of mine who often shared stories about morality in love, showed off his huge income, even publicly disclosed his assets with a confident demeanor, thinking that he was at the pinnacle of fame...
Chatting with you after a few coffee dates, you shared that you actually wanted to show off because you were trying to build the image of a successful person, a young businessman at the age of 34-35. And you thought that if you proved your success to everyone, you would attract more customers, and even your love life would be smoother.
Because of that, we disagreed with each other and eventually stopped chatting and talking because we didn't have the same lifestyle and future direction.
After a while, I heard that you had problems in your love life and your work was going downhill. You were involved in a money scam in business as well as chasing after fake relationships that led to financial exhaustion.
Sharing personal success is not necessarily wrong. But deliberately exaggerating the truth and using it to fool the world is very easy to fall into the trap of illusion and over-showing off.
