Is this hinting to a general bias of sufficient self-competence in every area?
Also, devaluing can be relative: this could be why close relative resists to you improving your life (you show them there's space for improvement) and distant acquaintances attributing it to unfair advantages.
I'd call it a cultural bias.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
