HelpRe: Are you okay? (m)

Thank you for asking
I'll use this opportunity to explain.
I despise all forms of pretense--in that, "blah blah person attended blah blah university"--or boasts of some or other honor, and that, accordingly, is more qualified than anyone else. It also manifests into economic classes--in few places more than in the US.
Everyone knows something or can do something that others cannot; or others have greater difficulty developing this gift; it also happens that specific people are unaware of what such a gift may be - and, that as a natural nurturer--such is where my empathy abounds.
So when I see people boast or flaunt specific accomplishments, perhaps, but not necessarily, to the "implied subordination" of another (or others) - I often react defensively; but, externally, this might seem as an aggression on my part; but my intent is merely to "face the bully".
