Good Deeds Don't equal Good Character

Attention seeking / feeding ego is a cry for validation. When these things bother you, it's also a cry - a quiet one for your own validation. Give yourself a pat on the back & give yourself some recognition that you're standing up to your own morals by not being a jerk and demanding attention in the wrong ways.

Allow yourself to be quietly proud - but also allow yourself to be brave enough to speak to how proud you are of yourself. We can tend to associate speaking up with that loud attention seeking energy. And quiet with being unimportant and non existant. But these associations are only true if we let ourselves believe in them.
