Last Tuesday was actually the best day I've had in years but I had to fake being miserable about it
I got a huge promotion at work but everyone around me was complaining about their bad week so I just nodded along and said 'yeah same here.' Has anyone else had to hide good news because the timing felt wrong?

Hate when that happens. You finally get something good and feel like you gotta hide it. Sucks but I get why you did it.

Oh man, I used to be all about that "let it see the light of day" mindset, @taylorshah. But you're right, sometimes you just gotta keep it to yourself. I remember getting a rare vinyl record last year and I was so excited to show it off, but then realized all the comments were just people asking how much it cost or where I got it. Totally killed the vibe. Now I get why folks stash the good stuff sometimes, it's more about enjoying it for yourself than dealing with the noise.

Yeah totally, @robin591. I actually read this article recently about how people are way more into keeping their collections private now because of all the annoying questions you mentioned. Feels like the whole point of having a rare thing is just appreciating it yourself without explaining it to everyone.
