"Coming from a non-traditional background" — What It Really Means

BS Level:💩💩💩💩💩

"Coming from a non-traditional background"

What they really mean

I want this achievement to sound even more cinematic

"Coming from a non-traditional background, I've had to learn how to create my own opportunities."

"My path was slightly less linear than average and I'm going to frame it like I crossed the Andes barefoot."

Share this translation:

I need everyone to know about my achievement right now

I am the opposite of humble right now

I'm taking credit for my team's work publicly

Looking for more humble brags language?
