You don't want to be that "loser" who's still bragging about how great they were on the high school football team. Or really what it gets down to, is just bragging in general. Let those achievements speak for themselves. That search for approval is a lost cause. When it really gets down to it, nobody really cares.
bragging
It's a pretty well known fact that, well, kids are stupid creatures. Kids aren't necessarily good at anything, so when they get a chance to brag, they take it. Even if it's the smallest thing you wouldn't think of as a real achievement, they'll let you know about it. Here are some strange flexes people saw in their own kids as well as themselves as children.
It's okay to have enjoyed high school. Many of us didn't. In fact we have tons of cringey high school memories that we regret. But it's alright to remember high school fondly. It's the folks who still think high school is important after 10 years who may need a reality check.
While social media has given the world amazing things like the ability to connect with friends and family, and share hilarious memes, there's others who use it for more selfish purposes. These folks are the ones who really know how to clear a room with their pomposity, self-veneration, and general sense of self-importance. These people who think they're just so god damn smart that you can't even begin to understand the pillar of intellect on which they sit. For more of these folks, check out these titans of knowledge.
There are a few things the internet has in abundance. One is platforms to speak your mind. Another is total doofuses who think they're literally the smartest person on the planet. Combine the two and you get some pretty cringeworthy action of totally un-self-aware folks trying as hard as they can to tell the world that they're brilliant. For more of this crap, here are some cringeworthy egotistical titans of knowledge who think they're all that.
It's hard enough to browse through a comments section without coming across infighting and negative feedback. These folks just made it even harder, proving to everyone around them that they see every blank text box as an opportunity to put others down. For more peeps who got metaphysical for no reason other than their own self aggrandizement, here are some more dangerously powerful mind titans.
The internet isn't lacking in people who need to project their insecurities onto others, while also sort of bragging? These are the folks in the comments section who brag about their "tremendous IQs" and armchair philosophize on the nature of reality. It's pretty cringey. Anyway here's more of them.
People often privately think they are the smartest person in the world, and that's fine for the most part. But when they get in strangers faces and waste peoples time bragging about their own false sense of superiority, things get cringey. They get real cringey real fast.
At its best, a comments section is a place for people to discuss new ideas, share interesting stories, and tell each other jokes. At its worst, it kinda looks something like this. Egotistical braggarts tearing each other down for no reason other than to make themselves feel something. Boy it happens a lot.
Whether or not this weird flex started off as a joke, the internet descended upon it with the ferocity of a thousand smug roast masters. If there's at least one thing that you can have faith in, it's the ability of the general public to hilariously tear something apart.
Oh man, you don't want to get into a smart-off with these Leviathans of intellect. Lord knows their enormous brains, crackling with knowledge, would have you slumping at their feet. Seriously, who thinks they're this smart? And further, who thinks it's an attractive quality to go around repeating it?
The internet is brimming with random encounters with these knuckleheads. First you're chillin' in the youtube comments section and everyone is being cool, then someone brings up thermodynamics for no reason. These guys took their egos to new heights. Just a bunch of brain geniuses, all of em.
These people might as well have let the world know they felt like the hottest sh*t around. The best kind of brag, is to stay silently humble, and say nothing at all. Believe it or not, people can see your accomplishments, and the respect comes of learning about those very accomplishments through someone else. Let the work speak for itself. You already did your part, and got shit done.
Would you look at the big brains on these folks. It's a miracle they can even hold their heads up under the weight of all that ego. Of course there's no way to prove any of these people are actually as smart as they say. What we do know is that they sure like bragging.
