1. bragging

   Boasting or bragging is speaking with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities. Boasting occurs when someone feels a sense of satisfaction or when someone feels that whatever occurred proves their superiority and is recounting accomplishments so that others will feel admiration or envy.Individuals construct an image of themselves, a personal identity, and present themselves in a manner that is consistent with that image. Theodore Millon theorized that in self-presentation, individuals seek to balance boasting against discrediting themselves with excessive self-promotion or being caught blatantly misrepresenting themselves. Studies show that people often have a limited ability to perceive how their efforts at self-presentation are actually impacting their acceptance and likeability by others.

Examples of bragging in a Sentence

1. Matthew Gravatt:

   The EPA should not be bragging about cutting vital safeguards for our air, water and climate. Going above and beyond Trump's arbitrary benchmark is not an achievement, it only proves that Andrew Wheeler couldn't care less about the health and safety of those Andrew Wheeler is supposed to protect.

2. Boko Haram:

   I think that it should be pointed out more often that Islamic State was more successful when its propaganda wing was less developed, remember it took all that territory in Syria and Iraq largely under the noses of the international community; it was only once they started chopping off our (American) citizens' heads and bragging about it over social media that the world really united against the group. And similarly Boko Haram was much more successful before it joined up with Islamic State and before it developed its savvy media outreach.

3. Donald Trump:

   There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Joe Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Joe Biden went around bragging that Joe Biden stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it... It sounds horrible to me.

4. Min Woo Lee:

   It was nice of her to come on...my sister and I winning the same tournament, it's pretty special. I've got bragging rights now, so it's even better.
