If you are Blessed, Stop Bragging!!
DISCLAIMER:
Hello there peeps, so I came from the future to edit this post after looking at few comments... After making this post, users here started to think that I was talking about users here, but NOPE... before you even go into reading this, lemme tell you LOUD AND CLEAR, this post has nothing to do with any of the user here, it was plainly and directly written ON MY FRIEND who just can't see the struggles of others.... Please keep it in mind.. LOVE YOU ALL MY HONEY BEES!!!
Hello my lovely Read'ers, Good evening one and all... ufff, I just had almost one hour conversation with one of my best friends from college.. Have you ever observed that we do not often talk to our besties but when we do, hours seem like seconds because we have so much to catch up with? I had one of those today... I joined a college in a small town and unlike these days, we never used to have our classrooms stuffed with students for money.. Our class had 35 students approx and only two sections.. A and B.
I studied in B section. I had very few best friends all my life because I prefer to talk to everyone equally. Ever since I was little, I hated groups.. I always found that as unreasonable and stupid.. but if some person finds comfort among a set of people, then whom am I to question that... I also never used to hangout with girl groups because ughhh I hate girl groups... it's either makeup or gossip about others.. yuck.
My college days went by me talking mostly to boys...about their new bicycles, cricket, etc... I made only 2 best friends from that college as one of them is a general knowledge fanatic and another one is typical gossip girl but she would not bother me with it as she knows I wouldn't be interested haha... So, this girl who gossips a lot, had settled well in her life. She married the love of her life while she was in college itself and he already has a shop that sells some spiritual items. I got married with my husband and my other friend who is GK fanatic, got married very late, in her 30s and we all are just living our lives..
Today, I talked to my gk friend and she was feeling bad about something and I could sense that in her tone...I asked what and why and she said she visited our hometown the other day and met our common friend, this gossip girl and she was making funny statements about her and all other friends we know.. I consoled her saying not to mind the words of others, we talked soulfully for sometime and cut the conversation.. I sat to think about that person and I would have left it out but today's conversation reminded me of how much she brags when I talk to her too...
As I said, I do not talk to people often for a reason and those rare times I do, I once called her and was talking when she said how much she suffered in her In law's house but how she managed to survive even if they were emotionally torturing her. I felt bad for her at first but her tone of speech quickly changed from confident to rude.. she kept bragging with me about how much money she makes each month and how much assets she currently has, that she made with her own effort... she also made jokes on my job and my earnings...
she told me "your salary is very less, you had to move to another city to earn peanuts???? that's sad"
Some body should have told her that it is not always about money. It is about passion and being down to earth and humble.. for the entirety of an hour of conversation, she spent half of the time bragging about her earnings and money she has. Do not get me wrong, because am not sayin this out of jealousy or something but genuinely speaking, if you have money or power, never brag about it.. It is not going to lead you anywhere other than make you lose your friends. Your friends will be happy for you for doing well in life but just because you are fine now does not mean you can go make fun of others and their jobs right?
Bragging people will look like:
Narcissists who does not care about other's feelings and thus losing loved nes
They tend not to adjust well with other and their economic position and expect everyone to afford what they have
They struggle with relationships with people
They generally forget about morale and ethics
Bragging often backfires and looks very distasteful
People who brag are scientifically proven to have very low self esteem. They constantly want people to recognize them...
Bragging might throw you into dangerous situations like burglary or getting kidnapped for ransom
I could go on and on about it but am gonna stop ranting.. but I will definitely advise here that if we are very good at something, let us just not brag about it... Informing everyone about our skills are always amazing and gives us confidence and make us feel good about ourselves but bragging make us look plain old stupid...what do you think?? lemme know in the comments...
Thank you everyone, much love to all my friends and sponsors
Yours bloggingly
Bragging will just end up to some kind of serious argument if not properly done. Especially of your intention is just to look like you have all what it takes to do such a thing and looking down the one you have been bragged to.
