>Quite a few points are not complains about other peoples behavior nor do they contain anything bad. I do indoor climbing, it does cost money, we talked about climbing in the work a lot. I would really have to work hard to perceive myself being criticizes by that point. I find myself in that situation quite frequently when it comes to sports cars. They are easily my biggest passion, but unfortunately it's not a cheap hobby. Even though I'm not struggling financially nor am I rolling in piles of cash, I'm certain that I'm far more comfortable spending a much higher percentage of my income towards them than other people. If the subject of cars comes up I often find myself talking about cars that are 2-3x more expensive than most other people in my income bracket are willing to spend, and I've realized how that makes me look to someone who only views cars as appliances and knows nothing of my personal finances. I've tried to bite my tongue and limit the amount of car related discussions I have with people who aren't auto enthusiasts. It makes me look like an out of touch person much wealthier than I really am, bragging about something they couldn't care less about.
