It just put me outside my comfort zone when she does that thing. The thing is she quickly tell strangers what I do for a living. Doesn't sit well with me. And she often say to other that's my girlfriend right there when speaking of me. I'm not out but it doesn't really bother me. It does make me feel some type of way when she tells others what I do. I haven't gotten upset bc I don't know if she's doing it bc she is proud of me. If she is bragging on me then I don't mind being out of my comfort zone to make her feel good. Is she complimenting me? Side note she did embarrass me once talking too much about me to a stranger. I had drank too much and she shared our entire evening with a stranger it too made me feel some type of way. I was unhappy on that one. Reply to this Question

 Sounds like you are just much more of a reserved person and keep to yourself a lot more than she does.
It does sound like she's proud. Why else would she be doing that? However, you don't say what you do for a living. So I can't really know what her intentions are.
I'm in law school and my gf talks constantly about how I'm in school and she will be a lawyers wife one day. I love it, as it makes me proud that she is so proud.
On the other hand, if she was sharing personal details about our private life, I would not like this at all. As I am like you and keep these things to myself.
If you don't like it, or it makes you uncomfortable, simply communicate that to her. She may not have a clue you're more private than she is. However, it doesn't sound as though her intentions are bad in any way.
Good luck.
