I find it weird how no one here in the comments acknowledges this signalling behaviour. I identify to this, see it as a problem and fight it every day. It's present everywhere, I realise that I always want to signal that I'm doing something nice to others or cool that people could/should envy me for.
I'm aware of it but it's not enough to make it disappear. How did you handle it?
I've been thinking about signalling a lot lately as well. I guess we're hard wired to some degree to do this sort of stuff? It's a way to express yourself and who you are in many ways, but doing it excessively is narcissistic?
