Maybe and maybe not. If you're using branded things to make u
happy, it means youre an unhappy person and use these goods to make
you feel better and on par with others or make you seem " atas". In
reality, you're insecure. Second explanation is when you really
like them and have the means to afford it and have no intention of
flaunting or whatsoeva. Btw, trying to show off to people by buying
branded goods is called CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION.
but for point 2 if people really want to make problem for you you
us ethe item inconspiciously they will also spread rumors say you
this branded lah that branded lah..
