The Best Article Ever Written About Bragging
I really dont like bragging, but I've noticed in groups where no one is bragging or talking about themselves its really boring.<p>I have a bunch of really smart friends who do really interesting things and when we meet up its like what are you up to? Nothing much. Nothing interesting. Later you find out that they just visited Mongolia, another is learning Russian and the other built renewable power system for a holiday house they just bought, but they're too worried about bragging to bring it up. (exaggerated) Meanwhile I (and I'm guessing they) dont like social status but kinda disappointed they don't get loved much.<p>Meanwhile I have other asshole friends who talk about the new expensive kitchen he got installed and its actually nice to hate on him and have a decent conversation about it.<p>So I'm starting to rethink my views on bragging. Maybe its a good thing.
