Bragging about yourself
Respect is earned. Exaggerated claims of how great you are do not earn respect; they cause people to lose respect for you. Actions speak louder than words, so let your actions bring the greatness out in you instead of bragging about it! Many braggers have an attitude that makes them feel like they deserve admiration and praise from others without doing anything to get or maintain this adoration.
They make vague promises about their future prospects like, “I’m going places!” but never take any real steps towards achieving success-or even demonstrating how hard they’re trying! No one is impressed by someone who says he will accomplish things when there’s no proof that he can deliver on his word.
People who brag excessively often feel insecure about themselves and are trying to compensate for this by making themselves look more important than they really are. Bragging is not an attractive feature; in fact, it can make you appear completely unconfident (even though you may be claiming the opposite).
Bragging makes other people around the bragger distant and uninterested, the opposite of the reaction you are trying to elicit.
