You should probably just suck it up and deal with it. I’m in automotive heaven and have all day to do it. No thanks to you
Why do people brag?
When you dig a little deeper into the psychology of bragging, you find that people brag for many reasons. While some brag just to show off, in other cases, there is a more complex explanation.
Below are 10 different reasons why people brag.
1. They feel insecure about themselves
A lot of people who seem too confident in themselves are actually deeply insecure. For them, bragging might be a way of masking their insecurities or getting help from others to build up self-esteem. When someone doesn’t know how to find validation within, they’re more likely to look to others for recognition, attention, and praise.[2]
