I’m in Britain and I really hate the eyelashes, fillers and makeup here for young girls sometimes and the intense pressure I see everywhere to get them. Poor girlies.

        Since living in a positive minded country, I’ve realised how toxic it is to downplay anything good or make an excuse about how every achievement you have isn’t really that special. In the UK, you almost have to do that to be polite and it’s a habit I’m still trying to shake.

          Yep! US takes it too far the other way, but that’s not to take away from your statement at all. The lack of confidence I see in some of my direct reports in the UK seems an unfortunate effect of this.
