Yeah I mean, I didn't say to gloat / flaunt. You can do what I suggested without making others feel small. False modesty is exactly what we are avoiding..genuine modesty is absolutely fine to run alongside my comment about being right sized and is the perfect antitode to the concern you started your post with.
And tbh the right sized thing has less to do with looks / status / wealth and more to do with how we see ourselves when doing a self assessment of character traits.
