[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, it sounds like you decided on your own not to talk about your own interests, so you don't get to turn around and be mad at your friends that you can't.  That's on you.

It's also on you to be able to talk about investing without bragging about money.  It can be done.

No, it can't.  Not if you are very good at it. However, you can find a few people who you can talk to about it anyway, because they are in the same boat.  It takes years to find, but they are worth their weight in gold.  For me, it's a high school friend who owns the same type of business I do (I can talk everything with him and a large part of our friendship is inability to talk to anyone else), a good friend who is a partner in some of my ventures (but still I don't divulge all to her) and a second high school friend I recently started talking to again.  An obscure conversation about top tax rates made us both realize that we both made over a million regularly.  I've floated a balloon with a few others I thought would be in the same boat, including a doctor couple, with rare specialties and was wrong.  In those cases it is embarrassing, but the loneliness of not being able to talk to anyone is worse.[/quote]
