When people have to go out of their way to make themselves look so great and brag about it, it's because they don't feel good about themselves at all. They have very low selfesteem and by doing great things they get praised and that makes them feel better. It is annoying yes but I usually look at them and feel sorry for them....I pray for their lives to be better because I doubt they really have any true friends.

If it's an area where I don't feel as accomplished and one that's important to me then, yes, I do feel bothered. That's my own insecurity, though. I do think that there's something healthy about having pride in your accomplishments, but it takes a bigger person to wait to be asked about it rather than talking about themselves ad nauseum. If someone has to tell us over and over again how great they are, then they probably aren't that confident after all (and that's sad).

People who brag about themseleves are mostly the people who are happy what ever little they get. they don't think about the bigger things what other people have already acheived. When one of my co-worker started bragging about himself. I waited till the end of it and atlast i just told him my story and he kept quiet for the rest for the day. He learnt a lesson.

its just part of the american way - to brag - overconsume - challenge
I find people that brag alot boring and limited - they can only talk about things related to the one subject - themselves and possessions or accomplishments. I does bother me when I know that they are trying to annoy me with it - sometimes it bothers me

No, it doesn't bother me. It just tells me that the person is feeling some kind of lack of confidence in themselves. Otherwise they wouldn't feel like they have to boast about their accomplishments.

It doesnt really bother me that much, I just think that they are doing it because they feel inferior so they have to make themselves feel better. If you look at it this way then you feel sorry for them.

Usually ppl who brag haven't done what they say they have so i think it just makes them look stupid b/c they are trying to be something they're not, and they don't realise they look stupid either!!!!!!!

doesn't bother me because everyone who is overly proud will be brought low and humbled at sometime in their life. I can only smile at them and try to block out their arrogance...it is only temporary

It doesn't bother me because I leave and don't come back when someone starts such blather. They can't run fast enough to catch me to tell me more.
