How Do You React to People Who Constantly Brag?
)
August 29th, 2009
Whether or not they are unrealistically inflating their own image, how do you react to people who brag about themselves at every chance? This situation makes it especially hard for me to bite my tongue when the person is lying about something they have…
For example,
One of my friends makes about $120k a year, but will say he makes $250k within the first 5 minutes of meeting someone… he finds a way to bring it up! Also, he always refers to his credit card as his “black card”, but it is not the Amex Centurion… it’s just a black Mastercard (no benefits other than a fake status symbol).
Do you ever feel the need to burst someone’s bubble, state how annoying they are, etc? Or do you just avoid the person from now on?
My reaction is to nonchalantly say something to let them know that I am well aware they are practically lying and that I’m not impressed.
