Confidence is silent
Trying to impress other people doesn’t always bring the results you wish for. Ok I have to admit that we all want to put our best foot forward but human beings tend to see in others more than the obvious.
From my experience people who talk too much about themselves do it because usually they need to prove it firstly to themselves. They hide their insecurities by trying to persuade others for the exact opposite. There is a greek saying about this “When you hear of many cherries, hold a small basket”-LOL the translation is a bit ridiculous I know but I had to let you know of which one I’m talking about.

People are not stupid. They tend to see more than surface-level behaviours. Motivations and intentions play a much important role in communication. It is just annoying when someone tries to show superiority over others. That kind of behaviours are not impressive, in fact they are raw stupidity.
In addition if you do a cool action just let others talk about it and praise you, ‘cause if you praise yourself you simply end up with a not so cool action as people will see through it and they will create a really bad impression for your selfish, stupid ego.
By revealing your flaws on the contrary you generate intimacy and better connection with others. A person who accepts and appreciates himself builds better and happier relationships. Funny how that works right?
Let your weaknesses become your strengths and let others say how irresistible, caring and smart you are!
I liked about cherries)))
I remembered another quote: "The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts."
Oh that is sooo true!! Unfortunately :P Cool and wise quote! ;)
Well said
Thank you :)
I can't stand people that show superiority over others & have a selfish ego. It really isn't nice and friendly at all. I try to bypass them as quickly as possible. I like the picture about bragging. 😂😂
I cannot stand them either... I find them extremely annoying! That's the best you can do ;)
haha thx! :)
Always, always inspiring.
However, I think blowing your own trumpet is a two-edged sword.
It all depends on the occasion calling for it.
Ultimately, we just need to project the real us, while polishing some aspects that require such.
Well yes.. If you go to an interview obviously you have to talk about yourself.. But when you are with people you just hung out with, start bragging will neither "help" you nor the others :)
Bullseye! 🎯
Από εκεί ξεκινάνε όλα...
Και είναι πραγματικά βαρετό και εκνευριστικό.. Τι φταίμε όλοι οι υπόλοιποι άραγε? :P
Έλα μου ντε!
Απλά απομακρύνεις αυτούς τους ανθρώπους από σένα, επιλέγεις να συναναστρέφεσαι συνειδητοποιημένους ανθρώπους και αν τύχει να πέσεις πάνω σε τέτοιον, απλά χαμογελάς επειδή you can read between the lines and you know the truth :)
Ακριβώς αυτό προσπαθώ να κάνω! :) Και όλα είναι κάπως καλύτερα έτσι.. :)
I hate to brag, and everytime i do brag is to try to make ppl realize that they can do it to, example, i bragged a lot about my start on steemit to my friends, but it's mostly to make them come to the platform, atm i already have one looking into it, as soon as one of them joins, the others will join too.
The only ppl that "show superiority" to me are teachers, and lately they stopped doing it, don't know why...
And how can you measure the superiority between 2 ppl, yes one might be more accomplished in work, but the other might be more accomplished in social life, while the other might be more accomplished in fitness, it's really hard to measure the "superiority" of a person
Well what you described is not bragging it is motivating :) And that's not bad at all..
There is no way to measure superiority cause such thing doesn't exist. As you very well said one might be better to this and the other one better to that. Actually there is no reason to do that..
You made me laugh with the illustration, now I will face a hard day's work with a renewed look. Thank you
