but you know what?
Those braggers are actually not as confident about themselves as they make it out to be.
Let's talk about our next PAA: Are people who brag a lot insecure?
The PAA answered by an article titled "4 Signs That Someone Is Insecure" published by Psychology Today
which is a media organization with a focus on psychology and human behavior.
In this article, the author Dr.Susan Whitbourne who is a Professor Emerita of Psychological
and Brain Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst points out that insecure people are
more likely to brag because:
1.They are bragging to convince themselves that they really do have worth.
2.They try to make you feel insecure yourself.
So they can project their insecurities onto you.
For those who don't know, Psychological projection is a common defense mechanism that involves
projecting undesirable feelings or emotions onto someone else, rather than admitting to
or dealing with the unwanted feelings yourself.
Obviously, you don't want to be one of those annoying people, but is bragging always bad?
