Reminds me of how in high school, there are kids that are smart and want to show it off (raise their hands, answer teacher's questions), and there are those that are on the "next level" -- they don't even need to prove to everyone else that they know the answers, so they never raise their hands.

In personal conversations some are eager to share that they are doing something amazing, but those on the "next level" don't try to impress the others :P

Yes, there has been some study of this phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersignaling
