Feeling proud of your accomplishments in life is normal, but nobody likes it when someone constantly tries to bring attention to themselves and their own achievements.
If you are doing something great with your time for people, they will notice you and talk good about you, (most won't and it is expected, so live with it). Feeling you have done something great is normal and also wanting to be appreciated for doing something great is human nature. We all seek to be appreciated and we should be appreciated even is it comes in featherweight.
The need to be appreciated has driven many down the egoistic and boastful path where everything about them becomes annoying and irritating to behold.
Life has huge respects for people who despite their work for humanity, are humble and will not want to toot their own horns.
Being humble and low key, doesn't mean you should lie about achieving something; for instance, if someone asked if you are a man then it's perfectly acceptable to say 'yes'. But don't constantly talk about how absolutely amazing you are as a man.
Prideful minds always never end well because, they get covered with their egoistic pursuit which ends up leaving them pursuing vane desires and targets.
You mustn't be seen as a bragger. Be humble, keep your head in the right spot and keep doing what you are cut out to do.
The accolades may not come immediately, but someone will notice you before night fall.
Expect appreciation for work done and you will take whatever comes in good fate. Do not see your work to humanity as one that will come filled with so much goodies. There are going to be multiple fails along the way even if you are seen as doing the right thing.
Jesus Christ was never appreciated during his time on earth and even now, the appreciation for his undying love is still not given. But he still gives.
Live happy doing what you love to do and the world will rally round you to give you a win in times unexpected.
