It's a matter of taste and ultimately subjective. The camp that disagrees with this approach lumps these sorts of behaviours as seeking validation or neediness, particularly in the broadcast mode. Show, don't tell and all that. In the 1-1 mode, it's passable as long as there is some relationship and context where this exchange would make sense.

In the 1-1 mode, it's passable as long as there is some relationship and context where this exchange would make sense. Sure, I guess my point was that this matter of taste (seeing the expression of pride in one's achievements as "seeking validation or neediness" in a bad way) is precisely the toxic cultural current that I was describing. In my anecdotal experience, it's usually driven by a heaping dose of self-hatred being externalized onto others by dragging them down.
