So yeah, it does feel kinda good to have people say "Nice car!" or "I love your house". I know, it sound dumb and shallow (it is), but I'm only human.
In a case like that it's much different. You're not actually showing off. People are just saying these things to you and, like most people, it makes you feel good. It gives you a greater sense of accomplishment. You work hard for what you have and it's nice to hear things like this once in awhile, but if you walked around like you were the greatest thing and throwing all your money and things you own in peoples faces that would make you one on the people that Metaman was talking about.
