Reddit user algebra_lover asked: 'What is the stupidest thing people brag about?'

It's never attractive to gloat.

Even if someone is incredibly skilled at something, or accomplished something incredibly impressive, it's better for others to commend their accomplishment, rather than doing so themselves.

The only thing that can make gloating and arrogance even less attractive is if they're bragging about something that isn't even that impressive to begin with.

Even so, some people simply can't help but boast and congratulate themselves, even whether or not the thing that is making their head grow with impressive speed isn't remotely worth congratulating.


Redditor algebra_lover was eager to hear about the most ludicrous things they've had to endure people boasting about, leading them to ask:
"What is the stupidest thing people brag about?"

Monogamy Is Nothing To Be Ashamed Of

"Sometime over the last decade or so, people started using the term "body count" for their cumulative number of lifetime sex partners."

"Unless you're doing it with all of them concurrently, I am not impressed." -Reddit

A Well Rested Soul Is A Happy One...

"The only time I care if you lack sleep is if you’re heading to Brooklyn." - _Goose_

Be Proud Of Who You Are, But...

"Guys who brag about being 'built different'."

"Sure dude."

"You have a beard, a 'full sleeve' tattoo, and a pickup truck."

"You’re so different." - someguy192838

A "Real Man" Never Needs To Prove Himself...

"Being an 'alpha'."

"Sorry homeboys, if you feel the need to announce it, you ain't it... and you know that." - Prudii_Skirata

Some people simply need to be the center of attention.

Even if the attention gained isn't exactly wanted.

As proud as one might be of their accomplishments though, it's always a good idea to wait for others to congratulate you, before congratulating yourself.
