"This is odd, but there are certain things that are really embarrassing to talk about - one is my job and the success that I've had in it, and the other is money"

- Rick Moody

About this Quote

This quote by Rick Moody speaks with the idea that there are particular subjects that can be uncomfortable to discuss, even if they are positive. It is odd that topics such as one's job and the success they have had in it, and cash, can be awkward to discuss. This could be due to the fact that these topics are frequently related to sensations of pride and accomplishment, and it can be challenging to talk about these things without feeling boastful. It could also be since these subjects are frequently associated with sensations of insecurity and insufficiency, and it can be hard to discuss these things without feeling vulnerable. Whatever the factor, it is clear that these subjects can be hard to discuss, and it is essential to be conscious of this when talking.
