Bragging: to over state a fact to make oneself look more important then they are in reality. That's subjective, based on your perception of what the individual is saying, and whether you think it's overstated or not. Ain't life all subjective to each individual own perception. To each is own.

Its not bragging if you can back it up! Maybe they are just telling actual stories and it seems like bragging or they are goofing around, like I could make a remark on this quote below by my friend 35TOO, but it would be in jest- a bunch of goof-offs wearing clown make-up beating our chests in fun. ..........AND IM THE BIGGEST AND FUNNIEST CLOWN ON HERE............ BUT MY TRACTOR IS THE BIGGEST...... for real. i havent stopped laughing yet. no really.IM ALWAYS GOOD FOR A LAUGH.......

being proud of ones accomplishments is all good running others down because a person who thinks they've accomplished more than others is not a good quality to have in my opinion

Bragging: to over state a fact to make oneself look more important then they are in reality. Stating a fact: to say what should be said once and leave it at that. perfectly said!

Even if they may not be? the question is: have they responded to inquiry or have they peppered info with what has not been requested. So one has to be invited to opine?
