:) excessive self esteem can be as bad as low self esteem, maybe worse in that it may inflict misery on others, in contrast to low self esteem that tends to be private.

Simple, don't flaunt successes and don't burden others with your short comings.

Growing up, a cousin was apparently successful and bought a Cadillac, but kept it hidden in his garage, reluctant to let others see him driving it, and fearful of what they would say. Probably accounts for the popularity of Buicks in the 40s and 50s.
@Heartlander Very well put. I agree. Thank you.
