How do you deal with a story topper?

Generally I just stop talking to them because they feel the need to 1-up me

Meet plenty of those, especially at work. Let them be, as long as they don't force me to listen.

I block them, at least on here. Braggarts do not sit well with me, plus you know half of what they say is fake.

I had a colleague who was like this. We both started our job at the same time so I knew what she had to do. But she always had more work to do, her situation was more difficult than mine, yet she coped although her health was affected (as she said but no one believed her) and would have liked to be admired. I ended the relationship, not with a bang or a big discussion. I just managed not to meet her so often and our ways parted. Another way may be to use irony but to understand this someone must be intelligent. If the show-off isn't intelligent, it doesn't work. Whenever he/she brags about something, one can praise them profusely and say that what they've done was really wonderful/exceptional/definitely better than anybody else could have done it. You can also clap the person on the shoulder and applaud.

Instead of feeling jealous try to learn from him. Everyone is different and have different capacities and interests. Take care dear

Probably just ignore it or show that you don't care.

I just probably ignore that kind of person.

I have some friends who are like that and its very annoying. I just dont hang out with them anymore.

Those people are extremely insecure, but it's so annoying. I just try to limit my conversations with them.

I use to ignore the story tapper then i make myself calm and think of my good thoughts over and over again .

I think it’s came from jealousy.. if I were you I would try to go away from this person as much as I can
