07/11/2004 | I think bragging is good as long as you can back your words up.

05/05/2004 | Braggarts are really boring, sad, insecure people. They have one way conversations and theres only so much that a listener can tolerate choosing to just zone out and eventually ignore them. I don't see this as a bad habit, just a sad moment of self-obsession for the inconsiderate.

10/26/2003 | It depends on how bad. All of the time is very bad and annoying, but if bought a $115000 Mercedes S600, I would brag about it for a while, who wouldnt? Be honest...

09/22/2003 | The only people who brag are insecure, jealous people who brag because they are trying to convince themselves and everyone else that they are special. They don't realize that they are only coming across as self-centered, conceited assholes and are not impressing anyone.

06/11/2003 | We all know (or have known) a few braggarts during our lives, and these sort of folks tend to drive the average person totally bonkers. They have a limited vocabulary: the words "me", "myself", and "I" seem to dominate their everyday speech. About twenty or thirty minutes of listening to these windbags, and we find ourselves thinking "When are they gonna shut up!" Finally, we ever-so-politely excuse ourselves from these one-sided conversations and say, "Well, I really ought to be going....Ciao!"

05/13/2003 | There's certainly much to be said about humility . . . .People who brag make terrible dates, annoying friends and obnoxious strangers. And, worse, most people who I've known that brag often are lying about it to boot. I appreciate honesty and humility in a person. For example: I was sitting around with a bunch of my male friends, and they were all bragging about how they beat up X amount of people ("X" being a continually rising number by the minute), and how they beat them all up. Then, one guy (who happens now to be my fiance') admitted that HE got beat up by three guys. Needless to say, I found him more interesting because at least he was HONEST. It took that comment to make the rest of the guys finally admit that they have been beat down before as well.

05/03/2003 | Bragging is another one of those immature habits. I think that this habit is even worse, when the person bragging is an adult. It just shows people how immature you are. Plus, if you brag about winning or being better, then you are probably a sore loser too, and even if you're not a sore loser, that's how people will percieve you, because you put such a high price on winning or being better at something.

04/22/2003 | People who brag suck, plain and simple. There's just no cause for it. Some people seem to not even know they are doing it, in this case a good slap in the face will do just fine.

03/07/2003 | Its OK to be proud of your assets or accomplishments, but do not dwell, or brag about them. People to brag relentlessly are usually the same people who are insecure about their own adequecy, and thus feel that everyone has to know that they have done something special.

12/05/2002 | No one wants to hear how much money you make, what you paid for your car, and how much your house it worth. And please take off that bumper sticker that says "my kid is an honor student".

08/30/2002 | i really hate it when ppl brag about how manly they are.. sex and muscule work... however there's nothing wrong with bragging about normal things, succeeding in a tough tast, creating something artistic, as long as you don't go overboard with it..

06/17/2002 | Janey Lane has a point when she said "...after a while you just start looking for a way to burst their little bubble, and then you're not nice." This is exactly how I react to this kind of thing. One thing a lot of people need to learn when it comes to talking about their personal accomplishments is that a little humility can work wonders. It goes a lot farther than tooting your own horn and people tend to take you more seriously. I think people who habitually brag are actually very insecure about themselves.

06/11/2002 | It is one thing to be proud of yourself and be happy with you accomplishments. it is in bad taste to brag about yourself all the time. I agree with Castlebee that braggers are most likely insecure people. I also like what Janey Lane said that there is a part of me that wants to burst their bubble. I especially think it is nasty when braggers boast about what they have to those who they know are struggling. It is like saying haha! to them.I do not deny others their success but they do not have to throw it in others faces.

06/08/2002 | Bragging is not something that I usually have the patients to listen to but when the odd moment does occur, it's just as boring and annoying as I remember it. Sure it's great that people do well, and have good fortune - but there is a line there that is very easy to cross. Sharing your happy times is one thing, bragging another. Basically braggers make me think about very nasty things I would like to do to them, or other not nice ways to take away whatever it is that they're bragging about. No one really likes someone who is constantly bragging, after a while you just start looking for a way to burst their little bubble, and then you're not nice. It's a slippery slope.
