"What do you think of people who brag?
I like to brag about my celebrity encounters and being loosely...very very loosely responsible for a song getting to no1 lol
Do you brag?"
Depends what you define as bragging? I think talking about your achievements is a good thing. It’s something that a lot of people in the U.K. have a weird response to.
If someone’s done something they’re proud of, I want them to feel comfortable telling me about it. I want to hear. |

When you brag you gotta remember that most people are very similar to you and don’t give a shit about what you’re saying and they just want you to listen to them, right?   |

If someone tells me something in a conversation about something good they did, that would be ok.
If they told me it every week for the rest of my life it would do my head in. |

I cannot *stand* arrogance. I HATE it! It’s my least favourite personality trait and I remove myself from situations/people when it’s being perpetuated.
I’m well aware that will be seen as intolerant and an overreaction but, for better or worse, it’s me.
It’s probably because I’m a very reserved and low-key (but unspeakably amazing) person. I find humility and modesty very attractive in people and I’m far more likely to be interested in what they have to say than an arrogant prick. |

If they are bragging about actual achievement I just let them get on with it.
If they use it as their USP where it's always oneupmanship it really depends on my mood. Sometimes I'll walk away rather than have to listen to them but sometimes my dick will always be bigger than theirs. |

Depends what the brag is about tbf. People achievements and how hard they have worked for that. Amazing
But bragging about your possessions and how great you are then no, I switch off.
I do brag about my son's and I really don't care what people think,
My son's are both successful. Youngest struggled with his mental health and had a breakdown at University but he turned it around and used it to drive him not define him
Am I going to brag, damn straight I am |

100% perfect reason to do so and fully justified |

"Unsolicited bragging or doing so out of context is rather unattractive and a rather narcissistic behaviour"
Unsolicited bragging I agree. Like the people that make everything about them #shoo #goaway |

I am wondering if the "bragging" part that feels annoying is maybe more about ourselves? I mean if we are really not bothered about somebody's wealth and achievements... their bragging should not get to us?
Just a thought. |

Ah yes. We all remember Joe Dolce "Shaddup You Face". So that was your fault then lol.
Do I brag? No. I just say it as it is. People like it or they don't. |

I think if someone mentions it once or twice, there's absolutely no issue. But, if the majority of their tales encompasses their wealth and you've shown initial indifference, they're definitely wanting some kind of reaction |

In order to brag, I have to be impressed. I won't be impressed by you. So you haven't bragged to me. Come back when you win a Pulitzer or a Nobel prize. |

My point still stands, and I'm sure many others feel the same. Why do you want to brag? To feel acceptance? Have you thought you may be overcompensating for a latent lack of confidence? Try reading a pamphlet or something. There are many available. Dozens probably. |

I personally don't- in fact, I'm very self effacing & get uncomfortable if anyone heaps praise on me!
If anyone brags, I'm instantly turned off. It smacks of arrogance & self importance, however, my friends could gush for hours about
An achievement or something they're proud of & I'll gladly listen & encourage them to tell me everything! |

They are proud and passionate about something so yes carry on.
I brag. I'm pretty damn proud of what I have achieved in my lifetime, and will happily share it, some will see it as bragging. Some will not. |

"Is it bragging if I tell my stories to someone who starts with their stories?"
Strictly speaking that's one upmanship so slightly different rules apply. Feel free to embellish the truth under this scenario. |

Blowing your own trumpet, showing off, bragging just lacks class. It’s so much better for someone else to say “wow, look what you’ve done, thats amazing”.
The only exception to the rule is a job interview when you need to demonstrate your achievements. |

Agree and it should not matter what others think about you talking about your achievements!
Maybe we have been brought up to be too modest at times. In the natural world the alpha male displays his wealth, power, achievements, ability to provide a superbly constructed nest to win over the female. So maybe some of that comes across as bragging when originally it was more about survival - just a thought. |

Had a message from a young guy who proceeded to tell me in graphic detail what he had done to a certain famous Irish rock stars wife …. Very distasteful , zero discretion . I wrote him off as a cockwomble idiot  |

The alpha male idea has been shown to be nonsense. Humans are far too complex to be reduced to such a binary system. Whereas bragging just screams "please be impressed by my achievements/car/friends". Deep seated reasons for that neediness? Quiet confidence is much more attractive.

I am not a bragger as such.
BUT
I have been in situations where Men have tried to be the Alpha and slag me off for my height or cock size. All I do is show them a photograph of me getting my cock sucked by three women and that usually shuts them up. |

Thing is, they never expect you to just say "Just shut your cakehole you bellend". The shock tactic stops them in their tracks. You do have to be prepared for it getting ugly though. |

On the contrary, that's exactly the reaction that they're expecting and trying to get.
Nothing screams big dick energy louder than simply proving through actions or pictures documenting past actions to T-pose with superiority over haters. Men who have to publicly slag off other men for their height or cock sizes are often projecting their own worst insecurities about the exact same thing they're dissing other men about, and most certainly not getting laid as much if at all. |

Where do you draw the line between arrogance and confidence? Is it a bad thing for someone to be confident about himself/something he's done/someone he has, and not be shy about showing it publicly? |

A lot of the time it's people over compensating for their insecurities. Other times, it's just genuinely being proud of what they have achieved. Whatever the reason, people will react to it in a way that reflects their insecurities. |

For people who say there is a “right” and “wrong” time to brag. What are those times?
A friend of mine asked what I’d done at the weekend, and when I replied to that he got pissed off and said stop bragging (I was 100% NOT bragging. I was answering his question).
Ever since then I’ve taken the whole concept of “bragging” with a pinch of salt. I think it mainly offends people with insecurities who misinterpret things. |
