Can't Take It.

Can't take it

Kabir is my best friend. I invited him to my daughter's wedding. As soon as he reached home, he said that his box containing his clothes was stolen on the train. I offered him my expensive suit to put on.

Introduced him to other guests like this -

1. Introduced to a friend- meet Kabir, my best friend. He told Kabir - you are looking very smart in this suit. I could not help it and said the suit is mine! Kabir hesitated. I guess I shouldn't have said that.

2. Next, introduced to next in this way – Kabir my best friend! He also praised him and the suit, so I said that the suit is mine! I felt like I made a mistake again.

3. When I introduced to the third person and he also praised him and the suit, I said - he is my best friend, the suit doesn’t matter.


4. The process of introducing continued and on the praise of him and the suit, there was also a hint that the suit was mine.

I tried my best not to mention the suit, but when I saw that everyone was praising him and the suit, I could not help but say it. What happened to the friend and what did the other guests think, what do I have to do with it? He was looking good because of my suit, wasn't it?

I don't like someone else's praise in front of me, no matter even if he is my best friend. The suit was just an excuse.

 

Yes, you got it right. I did wear that suit in the past but some praised the suit, not me. They say clothes make a man but in my case, it did not happen. In my friend's case, they not only praised the suit but him also. I am sure, he would have been praised even if he was not wearing simple clothes. The point is, I just can not take someone being praised in my presence.
This happens because I think I am the best, or is it my ego?
