bragging is an interesting phenomenon in
today's world it's evolved it's spawned
tiny little mutant babies that I've
taken over our in-person and digital
landscape there's just so many new ways
to do it
there's the zeitgeist II humblebrag oh I
just ruined my streak of perfect test
scores this year my first 98 the weird
flex my cousin is like so hot
okay I'm not bragging I'm complaining
bragging I just wish people liked to be
for me you know not because I'm like
beautiful or her because I'm talented or
because I'm insanely rich like Supes
generous I just wish they would but
there are definitely some brags that I
cannot stand and that everyone should
stop immediately because not only are
they perpetuating damaging mindsets they
also just don't make any sense and they
are exhaustion as a status symbol at man
I work like so hard but you know what I
mean Anna I mean what we probably get
like three hours of sleep between the
two of us I mean no no I get like six to
eight hours of sleep at night unless I
absolutely can't I mean the number one
way people die in our industry is by
falling asleep at the wheel and dude if
you're only getting three hours of sleep
at night I worry that you're causing
irreversible damage to your body and
your mental health escaping your pain as
a source of pride oh my god I was like
so drunk last night and then I popped a
couple of drugs at 3:00 a.m. it was
crazy I was so wasted you must be in so
much pain I can totally understand and
relate to self-medicating as a coping
mechanism but as your friend I have to
say this has been going on for a minute
and I hope that you recognize that it's
an unhealthy way to process and honestly
it's probably exacerbating your problems
because alcohol is a depressant yeah I
guess I'm in deep pain
saying you're not like other women yeah
I'm not like other women you're right
you're not like other women other women
don't brag about not being like other
women like it's something to brag about
claiming successes that aren't your own
to elevate your worth do you wanna know
how much my dad makes No 2 million a
month okay yeah so we're like basically
rich we yeah well what do you contribute
what what do you contribute to your
father's business I can only assume that
if you're claiming his wealth then you
must have some kind of substantial
contribution whether that's a
consultation role or some kind of
administrative position oh well
otherwise you're just flaunting daddy
Walt's money as though I'm supposed to
be impressed that there's some man in a
high-powered prosperous position who
happens to have a son and that son
happens to be talking to me at this
moment in time
and finally one of the weirdest brags
that people do using their trauma as a
way to feel superior to others oh I'm so
sorry that happened to you thanks yeah I
mean you know life happens to you and I
think it's what you make of it that
counts you know like how you grow from
it why not tell me about it I have so
much trauma oh wow I'm I'm so sorry
thanks guys like I have more trauma than
anyone I've ever met like if I put
together both of y'all's trauma it'd
probably be like a fifth of my trauma
wow that that sounds really hard yeah
I've had like so many surgeries on my
butthole because if you flaunt your
trauma it's not trauma
it's a story I'm Anna Akana clearly I'm
annoyed and thank you to privacy for
