Does anyone else find social climbers tedious?

I grew up in a small town where being humble and hardworking were considered virtues. The place had plenty of faults but that was one of the core values I admired and while I’m far from perfect, I try to abide by in my life.

I’ve lived in a large, coastal city for six years now and I’ll admit that the longer I live here, the more I notice how different people are. Almost every social gathering I go to, someone is bragging about their privileged background, their watch, their car, their job perks, etc.

This is a big reason I don’t have a huge circle of friends. Many of the people I meet are very privileged and very tone-deaf about it which makes me feel a certain disconnect from their experience.

Is anyone else similarly turned off by such behavior? I’m not a jealous person and don’t resent people having nice things or experiences. But every time someone starts going on ad nauseum about their features of their Rolex or about how I simply MUST stay in the presidential suite of some fancy hotel in a way that is clearly competitive or to impress someone, I immediately tune out.
