Is a massively inflated ego a requirement for bootstrapping?

The conversation here is centred on how others simply “do not understand how awesome I am for bootstrapping”. All veiled under a very transparent layer of self-aggrandising faux-humility.

What is the deal with that? Compensating for something?

idk maybe you should try curiously reading about the experiences of other people rather than belittling them/projecting your insecurities onto them. these people are earnestly sharing their experiences, including anecdotes about how they struggle to relate in small talk with non-entrepreneuers, and here you are ironically unable to relate, proving the point. in a comically toxic manner.
