"Never think of entertaining people with your own personal affairs; though they are interesting to you, they are tedious and impertinent to everybody else; besides that, one cannot keep one's own private affairs too secret. Whatever you think your own excellencies may be, do not affectedly display them in company; nor labor, as many people do, to give turn to that conversation, which may supply you with an opportunity of exhibiting them. If they are real, they will infallably be discovered, without your pointing them out yourself, and with much more advantage." - Lord Chesterfield
A quote that is particularly pertinent to my current, wholly unbearable situation.
