Don't you hate to listen to people who bragging a lot?

I work with somebody like this. He thinks he is the expert on everything. Whatever we are talking about, he would but in and explain how he became an expert at it. And he always has to have the last word. I tune out at this, and pretend that I am listening. I also just nod and repeat the last word that he says. I would look like I am listening, but actually I am thinking of ways to excuse myself.

Yes that is one of my big pet peeves I'll have to say. I know 2 friends in particular that constantly brag about everything, so I really do limit my time with them. It's not point confronting them about their behavior because there are certain people that are just too stubborn to care. The first friend is wealthy and loves to brag about all her possessions, and really I don't care. I don't judge people based on what they do or don't have. Some of my friends are wealthy, others are not. No big deal to me...Well that's why I try to see those friends maybe once a year and then I'm done.

Arg, yes, this is very annoying. I have a co-worker who constantly brags about all the things he's done, people he's known, and money he's blown. He is also the know-it-all sort who likes to act like he's an expert on everything under the sun. The worst part (and saddest, really) is that 85% of all of it is made up. It's very difficult to know what to do in the presence of someone like that, if you can't escape. My co-worker quite often traps me in my workspace to tell his tall tales, though there is no reason for me to be interested in them. Sometimes I throw my manners to the wind (figuring that he has too, by behaving this way) and just turn my back on him and go back to work. Eventually he gets the picture and leaves. :P

I do hate to listen to them. And we have one woman in the office who is like that. When she opens her mouth, it is usually about her what good she did the previous day, where beautiful place she went and what beautiful things she purchased. Just this morning, she was telling everyone in a loud voice about the brand-new washing machine she bought. Yes, there were a lot of times that I had to slowly excuse myself and go outside the room because I no longer want to listen to her. That is a way to save and take care of my ears, hahahaha.

I guess it depends on the situation. If a parent would constantly brag about his/her child, I'd smile because there goes a proud parent. And, sometimes, I think it's okay to brag if you're proud of your accomplishment. I personally don't like to brag but I understand why some people do it. I only get annoyed when it's habitual.

I know exactly what you mean! The football players at my school are so big-headed, it's ridiculous. I want to tell them that, no, you will never get that scholarship and no, you are not even good at playing football! If only everyone in the world would know when to stop talking about themselves! Not everyone is perfect, though. Some people just tend to think they are.

Yes, these people need to understand that they are no better than anyone else.

I do not like People like that either they are to full of themselves, they should just get on with things and do what they are suppose to do not constantly praise themselves Ok if he is good at what he does but there is no need to be so full of himself

oh yeah! it's a BIG turn off. It's annoying listening to people like this, you know? Most of the time, I don't even say anything, just stare at the person talking. When I get really annoyed, I give that look that says c'mon, cut that crap already. Haha.

I really hate people who brag, I mean why they don't just be humble with themselves?I think being braggart is a sign of insecurities. People who brag is a clear indication that they seek attention and that they are not sure of themselves that's why they want to flaunt to the world what they have.

I don't like people who brag a lot but I don't hate them either. These people are loud and self-contained, and sometimes they think no one is better than them. If I meet someone like this I just avoid him/her so that I won't get to hear his/her self-centered rethorics.

Yes, I do agree with your comments too. i don't really like it when my family members or friends brag about how they can do a certain thing or an accomplishment. But I just nod till they finish and go away. I don't brag because it would make me look narcissistic. lol.

Whats sad is most people like that weren't that great and the handful that were just cant get on with life as it is. We all cant continue to be great football players or play tennis etc.. things happen. These people need to wake up and realize that and stop living in the past. Those that brag about present issues will all learn there is someone or thing better than they and that person will be modest do better and walk away, believe me it happens to the best of them. :)

the trick is to egg them on even more, so if they start bragging about how fast their new car is, you state, "oh really?, i thought they were much slower, gee i didn't realize that they were so fast etc etc" until they get sick of listening and answering your question. Its a big investment of your time, but if you persevier the bragger will no longer come back and brag with you about something new. They have learnt a lesson and will brag to someone that doesn't ask annoying questions.

hi clorissa When people like that keep bragging about all the big things that they have done, and all the money they have, and how good and how talented they are, I want to shout, "If you are so d amned good why do not you let your success speak for its self? so far I have not seen your name in headlines or on the television or the radio? I am sure that would really shut them up.

Hi, I think nobody like this kind of guy, I hate this kind of people, they just can't stop bragging, and always say how great they are, and let you feel like that we are not that great, and they are so annoying, really make others feel uncomfortable, the point is they are not that great, they are just like to brag themselves. I can't understand them.

You said it. I totally hate braggarts. I cannot stand to be around them for more than a few minutes. Sometimes, I just want them to shut up. If only walking away without being rude is that easy. I have one friend in particular who is like this. I also have one specific relative who is such a braggart that I always avoid being in the same room with her. When they start to brag, I quickly change the subject. Sometimes, it is a success and sometimes it is not. They should really learn to be more humble.

I really hate to listen to people who are bragging a lot and I guess most people don't like to keep a relationship with this kind of people. But unfortunately, there are so many people who are goo at bragging very much. Whenever I meet such an annoying people, I tend to pay no attention to their words or pretend that I am busy with my work at hand in case they are pouring out words in a steady flow. I really can't understand why they are good at bragging instead of other useful skills. In my eyes, they best choice to face the life is to put ideas into practice. Bragging is nothing because it is just a waste of time.

I like humble people to be my friend. If you are really great, people will know it later on. We don't need to show it off in front of people. Once you tell everyone that you can do this, you can do that, you need to achieve it. Don't ever say without doing. This is non-sense.

I think that people do stuuf like to over compensate for a deficiency they have
