human nature-height of conceit

We all boast a little sometimes, don't we? I admit it is really annoying when some people habitually do this. And I admit there is something wrong with the guy. Sometimes people boast because they don't think themselves capable enough. They are scared. In some way it is a way they encourage themselves.I am sure we can understand tthem, not be too harsh on them. It we cant endure them, just leave.

people who boast a lot or are conceited, have a problem with themselves..they are inadequate or unattractive and are trying to make them seem or appear attractive, or better than they are. it is all psychological. if you want to help this person, send them to a psychologist, therapist or counselor. they need help..they have mental issues going on inside, and embarrassed about something about themselves, their skills or their looks.

Yes, sometimes people do that, and it's a little annoying - but we all like to talk about ourselves, let's face it. It crosses the line when you are trying to talk to one of these people, but they still manage to turn it into something that revolves around themselves. There really isn't much you can do besides either 'block them out' or take a genuine interest. In my case, I block them out when they love themselves too much. These people don't need to be told, either. They know they do it, because they know they have an internal need for attention or approval. For that reason, we should try not to be too harsh - they are sick in some way. I find that 'witty sarcasm' works lol - but there's no need to hurt anyone's feelings.
