Do You Brag About The New Things You Have?

I have this friend of mine that has an attitude of bragging new things she have. She'll be sending off messages to her friend list about this new gadget she has and how she got it. She was doing this often and I was like HUH? Do you have to tell to other people new things you got, I mean just be humble enough. Was is she thinking? Does she likes us to be jealous or envy for having that and we have none? HOW ABOUT YOU? DO YOU BRAG NEW THINGS TO PEOPLE?

I have nothing to brag about, but I do have a so called friend who calls me at least once a month to give me the rundown of everything she just recently bought and how much things costs. Everything to her is money. It gets tiring after awhile.

I don't like to brag or boast about the new things I have..If at all someone noticed about it on their own and ask me about it, I will not tell anyone about it..I think your friend feels like sharing her happiness with you all..She does not think it as boasting..I know of a lady who just talks things about her and her family very often..Even if her kid passed in the first grade she would be extrapolating things as though hers is the only intelligent kid in the world. It is a real bore to converse with these people..We cannot do anything about these people but just avoid them.

I do not usually brag about the new things I have. I mean, I try to keep low profile about those stuff since I hate people who would brag and brag about new things. I feel like those people who love to brag just love the attention and are materialistic in nature.

I don't brag about the things I buy. I am not very materialistic, and things just don't mean a lot to me. When people ask me questions about my things (for instanse which kind of mobile or computer I've got) I am not able to answer, as I don't care about names or brands. Actually I find it really boring when people talk about the fantastic new things they have bought. I'd much rather hear about the experiences they have had or the people they have met.

I have not got many new things; so there is nothing for me to brag about. But even if I had new things, I would not brag about it because bragging is not good. Being boastful is against my rule of ethics. It might infuriate the other person and I would enver do something that might cause rage and fury in the other person.

I think it will be very stupid to be bragging about new things to ple or even frenz.. BEcause the more one try to show off, the more easily, their new things is gonna get stolen or lost.. lol =D As long as there are jealous ple around, new things will become lost things very soon.. haha ^_^ So it's always better to keep a low profile about it ^_^

I don't remember myself bragging about the new things that I have. It is not in my mentality and as much as possible, I keep everything for myself. I also know someone who brags about the things that she has, especially when new. I just don't know what she wants to show or tell but I really found it inappropriate. I agree with you. I appreciate more those people who are humble.

I don't think I ever brag about the new things I have, and I find people that do this really annoying. _
