Humblebragging — bragging masked by a complaint or humility — really infuriates people. Mainly because the disguise isn't fooling us.
A 2018 study from researchers at Harvard and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill found that it is even worse than regular, straight-up self-promotion. The latter at least comes off as genuine!
However, some folks just can't help it. They let their insecurities get the best of them and put their false modesty on full display, ready to savor all the attention and recognition it might earn.
When that happens, they end up on a subreddit called r/HumbleBrag. The online community for shaming this pitiful self-presentation. Continue scrolling and check out some of its top posts.

That’s not a great example of humblebragging. Maybe he was a little too cheery/nerdy, but nothing he said was disproportionately self-aggrandizing - it was just what he was doing that day. If he’d said “I’d say mine was driving our area nursing home’s elderly residents to church, then feeding homeless veterans the potato salad I made last night at the local soup kitchen, then downing a crust of leftover bread for lunch so I could keep going and honor my commitment to volunteer at the Tim Tebow prom for people with mental disabilities,” THAT would be h-b.

This feels more like just fill-on bragging then humble bragging. and even then, it\s more self-aggrandizing since he just launches into it without her getting the chance to ask and its not really anything special to brag about, other than doing some charity work. Which is more self-aggrandizing to me.

Honestly I think it’s cringe but it’s not really that bad. Some people are just proud of their accomplishments. That’s a good thing he was up to. Better than bragging about some ugly car or boring trip.
"[Humblebragging] is such a common phenomenon. All of us know some people in our lives, whether in social media or in the workplace, who do this annoying thing," study author Ovul Sezer, an assistant professor of organizational behavior at UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, said. "You think, as the humblebragger, that it's the best of both worlds, but what we show is that sincerity is actually the key ingredient."
Sezer and her team conducted a series of experiments, trying to determine how common humblebragging actually is and how others perceive it. They discovered that humblebragging is everywhere: Out of 646 people surveyed, 70% could recall a humblebrag they'd heard recently.

My cousin dated a girl all through high school and Uni and she became very close to our family, we loved her like she was one of our own. My cousin broke up with her a couple of years out of school and dated a few real "winners." We saw the ex girlfriend at a wake and she was just as lovely and sweet as she had been in the past. My mom told her that breaking up with her was the stupidest mistake my cousin has ever made. At a family gathering my sister mentioned to my cousin that we had seen his ex, then she mentioned that the ex spoke positively about him even though the way they broke up was "horrible, immature and hurtful" his exact words. They ended up running into one another at store. They started seeing each other again and eventually got married.

If they did say it, they’re a shîtty family anyway, so their compliment isn’t worth much. It’s one thing to disagree with your child and side with the ex, but it’s another thing to do all these dramatics. Not that this has ever happened of course.
The researchers then established that there are two distinct types of humblebrags. The first falls back on a complaint ("I hate that I look so young; even a 19-year-old hit on me!") while the second relies on humility ("Why do I always get asked to work on the most important assignment?"). The results showed that roughly 60% of the humblebrags people remembered fell into the complaint category.

I think this is why so many ppl have low self esteem. If you can't pat yourself on the back for something good you have done, then how do you learn to be proud of yourself? Humans are strange as hell. We humiliate those who do well just because we aren't doing the same? If you feel ashamed, maybe it's because you know you could be doing the same and you chose not to.

The researchers also carried out experiments to see how people responded to humblebrags, particularly focusing on the bragger's perceived likability and competence. They found that regular bragging was better on both counts, it at least comes off as genuine, Sezer explained. Interestingly, even complainers were more likable and seemed more competent than humblebraggers of any type.

I am a chemist, and as such I know that the gloves are there to protect my hands. I know that harsh chemicals could destroy the ring.

And depending on the lab it is possible that it is not allowed to search for the ring in the bin. So why on earth would someone NOT take the ring off after the first time it ripped the glove? This only makes you look really dumb. Besides...that glove was cut, it would not look like that if it really was the ring that ripped it.

If you posted this in a positive way, it would have been better received and not just complete cringe. Try not complaining :D
When you think about it, no wonder so many humblebraggers reveal their true colors online. Social media is a lot to blame for this.
As writer Roxanne Batty pointed out, Zuckerberg, for example, promised Facebook would "give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected." Systrom, a year after starting Instagram, described the platform as "a storytelling service…the way you go out in the world and tell a story about your life." Not to be outshone, Snapchat took this rhetoric one step further, their original mission being to "empower people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together."
It all may sound lovely, but people have taken these slogans to the extreme.

Ughhh, Im Sooeee Bad At Drawing
Shelp 4 years ago
How I understand it: what he drew was the eye on the right, but because people like him and don't want him to feel bad, they pretend his drawing to be as good as the one on the left. That's my headcanonical explanation and I don't want any facts or logical explanation to divert me from it.

I don't like this post, but artists are really hash on their art (It takes one to know one) And am constantly self conscious about my art. If you are also great at drawing and get complimented for it, accept them and realize that the people who see your art and compliment it ARE NOT pitying you. Trust me, I've been there
L.Maverick 4 years ago
This one is actually not only funny but true like the language one. More practice results not only in better skills at drawing but also in more awarenes about every single mistake. The same on shadowing and highlighting, not only drawing the object. When you start drawing a lot of mistakes are not in the concept of "how i see things" but with every new drawing the artist's "eye" for mistakes and imperfections is developing more and more. And on some point it is very common that artists underestimate their own work i a high level, because they feel like still in teaching mode and see more the mistakes and imperfections instead of the developeted skill.

Your being fluent in other languages does not change the fact that you were wrong in English, though? You being condescending when corrected only makes YOU look like the douche, in any language.
Aamna Shah 4 years ago (edited)
I think you need to understand that a lot of Americans sneer at immigrants and refugees for not being fluent English speakers and it's always contextualized within the 'you're inferior to us folks' and that's the only context in which people respond in this way. If Americans stop random people for speaking Spanish or Arabic and demand they speak English because they're in the US even while they're having conversations among themselves, it comes from a place of privilege and entitlement. When someone uses language as a tool to demean others and their heritage, there is nothing wrong with telling them that it's much more difficult to speak multiple languages imperfectly than a single one.

Speaking 4 languages is something to be proud of. And grammar mistakes happen. Especially if you're learning a language from other native speakers and way too many native speakers make that same mistake. I've had to unlearn bad grammar that I learned from native speakers and it does piss me off if someone is a jerk about it. Just correct and move on, no need to be condescending.
Consider Instagram. The platform focuses on images, the perfect breeding ground for the infamous humblebrag.

His name didn’t register with me until he started telling me (well, kind of whining actually) how much of a horrible hardship and burden it was being very wealthy. I was making $3.45/hour at the time (1980-1971), so he picked the wrong person to try that act out on. Didn’t go over like he thought it would. But I figured I’d be charitable and help him out anyway, so I offered to relieve him of his burden. All he’d have to do was write me a check for the balance of his fortune. I’d make the sacrifice and lift his heavy burden off his shoulders for him, so he could finally be a free man. He didn’t take me up on it, and went to board his flight.

It's out of stock since most people order that size? So maybe that person's size is just average
BabaBizzle 4 years ago
So you’re too stupid to know how to order online? The sizes are there in plain English. If you don’t know the difference between sizes, you shouldn’t be using the internet. Or a credit card. Or breathing.
pusheen buttercup 4 years ago
This one might be a misunderstanding- it's really true that women's fashion in the usa sees the size as more of a guideline than an actual measurement. Or maybe she's just really happy she lost weight?

But does she need to post about it on social media? If this is true, telling it to that guy would be sufficient. Maybe in-person mentions to colleagues doing similar things. Posting it on social media is saying "look at me". It's gross and undermines her achievements.

As A Med Student
Jayne Kyra 4 years ago
Not a med student, but one quick Google search and: Different painkillers work in different ways. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and aspirin work by changing the way your body responds to pain and swelling. Mild opiate painkillers such as codeine work by blocking pain messages in your brain and spinal cord.

Oh my... What is the actual chemical used in advil? Likely, it either acts inside the brain or in the nerves, interrupting the transmission of the signal the brain processes into pain ... that little bidge!

Ibuprofen (in Advil), in a nutshell, inhibits the enzymes responsible for prostaglandins, which are responsible for pain and inflammation. Also, love how the OP scoffed without volunteering an explanation. What a tool!

Agree but part of the point is to be socially / self aware enough to know appropriate venues for talking about atypical / fancy traits of yours. Of course there’s also a limit to that. People are so jealous and in such struggle / pain that they will see a person doing well and automatically label that person a braggart. In which case there’s no justification in hiding your atypical or expensive things just to make someone feel better.
