do you usually boast for things you are GOING to get or things that you have already

i DON'T THINK IT'S VERY NICE OF U TO CALL lELIN A LIAR.

Thank you Antiquelady so much! As for Renhard I'm not lying. I think boasting is bragging and I DON'T do it. I again think its not a good trait to have. Its like you are bragging because you have something better then someone else. I think that is tacky. In fact if someone says something about something I have that may be nice I get embrassessed by it.

So what are you saying? You never ever boast? I believe that is a lie. So when all that excitement builds up in you, what do you do? Keep it to yourself? You are amazing i, I can't believe you can manage to do that.

Saphy, just have a look, somewhere in the inner races of your unconscious self...there could be lying this thing.....very harmless like you....may be...

But what if it was someone close to you that promise it. Someone like your mother or father or even your older siblings. The idea is don't promise me that you are going to get something if you honestly know there is a possibility that you aren't going to get it. I really hate when people do such things. It really upset me. I would prefer you to say that I will TRY to get you something rather than I WILL or I PROMISE to get you something. Do it that way atleast I won't feel so bad if you did not get it, actually I wouldn't feel bad at all if you said that small word, TRY. For the boasting thing now. Everybody boast, every single person in this world. Just that some people boast at different times. Well I am just the type of person that talks a lot about things I'm going to get. Eg. If you are going to put me in a big business to make money, you will hear I start to boast that me soon be rich or something like that or me soon have money to spend. But when I actually start get money, you won't hear me mention about it at all. That is what I mean.

krajibg, i have learned a long time ago not to trust anyone on promises. Not that harmless, though. But thanx. As for you. That is life. It could have been unintentional or something happened that that promise had to be broken. It happens. It cannot be that bad can it? I don't boast. It is a waste of good energy. One thing. Never boast when you have money or make a lot of money, that is every business man's biggest downfall and it's disgusting as well.

I am also speaking straight in here my friend. Yes, I am not a boastful person because I am not also a materialistic one. If you promised to give me something, I do not put too much in mind that I "must" get it nor pressure that person to give me what he promised. If he gives it, then that is very much appreciated. If he does not, it is also fine. Of course, a little disappointed, but I never boast it that he has to give it.

So let me get something straight here. Are you saying you never ever boast? Is that what you really are saying. Do you expect me to believe that.

So I understand you aren't a boastful person but what if someone close to you told you that they were going to give you something. But let's say that thing is something you have always wanted but you just couldn't find the money to buy it. Let I give that thing a name, let's say it is a car. And you always wanted a car but just couldn't afford it. You can afford to maintain it but not to buy it. And someone close to you told you that you are going to get it. Wouldn't you be over excited? Maybe excited so much that you start to talk about a lot to people close to you(boasting). Do you think I'm getting the meaning of boasting mixed up?

Unless it is a large ticket item and should be discussed I would just get it and surprise the other person. Rarely do people dislike surprises. Most love them! If they don't then there is something wrong.

But I would surprise my girl also. But what if the thing is not for you and its for him. Should he just get it and no word of it from him?

I guess your right on that one. Everyone like surprises. Too bad when I get a surprise I don't usually act surprise like how most people usually do. It sometimes kinda spoil the surprise though.

It is simple. We are human beings and not God. Hence the sense of being what you are always there provided you have something to take pride in. I hope you got my point now.

Yes I get it now but seriously, why did you talk like that the first time? Are you a pastor or something? Really now.

I need a translator in the house. I can't really grasp much of what you are saying. I caught some of it though. And you seem to see that everybody has to boast just that some do it in different environment and different time.

The only people I usually see act like that are old people. Are you old? Just wondering.

You sure you ain't lieing. I'm using my phone now so I don't really feel in the mood to go through so much trouble of checking your profile.

LOL, far from it. ahahaha.. wonder no more. Too funny..

Well that is the whole point of this post. But sometimes you are too overwhelmed and happy and just can't seem to calm down.

I find it very hard to laugh after that type of situation. If it happens I will tend to treat the person a bit different and I will never feel like to ask that person for anything again.

I can't call you boastful Renhard because I have not met you personally...My comment was a general one...I am sure you a very nice!

Am I misunderstanding things? Do you classify this as me being a boastful person: is not every time when I am going to get something I boast. Its only a FEW times but I never ever boast when I have got the thing. Also when I am boasting I might say something like this, "my uncle is going to buy me a game system, omg and I was saving for it already. What should I do with the money I save. Should I buy an ipod touch or a different game system or maybe a phone or maybe both". Do you called that boasting or what?

I know that is why I personally don't like when someone promise me something because anytime its a promise, I always really look forward to it. i prefer to be surprised with something, that way I will have no clue I will get thus my hopes wont be up about anything.

Well, hard to say, doesn't look like too much boasting for me :D

Are you sure because I thought that was boasting. Oh well I guess maybe I'm just misunderstanding the concept of boasting.

Oh I understand what you mean. That does not seem like boasting at all. That's just sharing opinions. When I'm boasting I usually ask something like this, my uncle is going to buy me a game but I have money to buy that same game so what should I buy with the money instead like how my uncle is going to buy the game instead. Do you classify that as boasting?

Then I want to know why do you promise people if you know that sometimes you won't be able to keep that promise. Why didn't you just go with the method of surprise. That way if you didn't actually get that gift the person wouldn't know and thus no one will feel upset.

So there isn't even one person that you would boast to? Maybe your boyfriend or someone close to you. Not even one person. I know you might be grown up in a good way but I don't expect u to don't deviate from that manner not even a bit.

Well i don't consider that boasting either. What I want you to majorly concern about is when someone else promise you something. Not when you buy something and waiting on it but when someone else promise you it. Do you find yourself telling everybody that you soon get this or you soon get that? Do you understand where I am going?

You are confusing what I said. I didn't ask if you are a boastful person. Is not everybody who boast is a boastful person. Boastful persons are those who boast in excess. I boast but I'm not a boastful person.

That is like me. I usually tell it to very close persons. But I don't usually do it often either. Its only a few time you will ever hear me boast so you can't classify me as a boastful person.

Lol. That is usually what happen to me. I usually boast about it but don't get it. But I don't usually feel embarrass. I'm just usually upset with the person who break their promise but the few persons that I boasted to before can't make me feel no way at all.

You seem like the complete opposite of me. Well the reason I don't boast when I finally get what I want: here is a scenario. I wanted a game, so I boast before I get the game to my friends. Everybody knows that it aint a sure thing but I still have to release that tension (excitement) off my chest. But when I do get the game now I won't boast about it because I am too afraid that friends will want to borrow and in turn it will be destroyed. I'm just afraid when I do get the things. I am over protective but yet still things are always being destroyed when I do get them.

Are you sure you aren't my twin? Wow you said it perfectly like how I would say it. I don't even have anything to add to that.

Well you will never hear me boast about things that I have already. I am just afraid too much people will be interested in it then. And maybe some people would want to borrow and if you refuse to lend then they will claim that you are mean. And if you do lend them then there is a possibility that it will be destroyed.
