“How Crazy All Their Exes Are”: 35 Things People Boast About Without Realizing It’s A Major Red Flag About Them

“I don’t like to brag, but–”

We all know humility is a great quality to have, but there is a time and place for celebrating our accomplishments as well. Earn your PhD? You deserve to be proud of that. Beat a life-threatening illness? I wouldn’t blame you for telling everyone you know. Complete an ultramarathon? That’s something worth posting on Facebook about. But if you get less than 5 hours of sleep every night, can drink an entire bottle of tequila by yourself or think all of your exes are “toxic and crazy”, you might want to keep those things to yourself…

One curious Reddit user recently asked people to share things others brag about that signal red flags, and readers did not hold back in the replies. So below, we’ve gathered a list of some of those qualities and "accomplishments" people should stop being so proud of to remind you pandas which boasts to look out for. Keep reading to also find an interview we were lucky enough to receive from Viktor Sander, a counselor at SocialSelf.

Be sure to upvote the responses you strongly agree with, and let us know in the comments any other brags that would send you running out the door. Then if you’d like to read another Bored Panda article discussing red flags to look out for, look no further than right here!

We all know that nobody likes a braggart, but why do we brag in the first place? What compels us to want to share our accomplishments so openly? To gain some insight on this topic, we reached out to Viktor Sander, a counselor at SocialSelf. "I believe people primarily brag because they’re insecure about their own value," Viktor told Bored Panda. "They want to be validated by others, they want to feel liked, or they want to feel better than others. The problem is that bragging usually has the opposite effect - people will like and validate us less if we brag."

We were also curious if there are ever times where it is acceptable to boast. "It’s more socially acceptable to brag about major life accomplishments, such as getting a job, finishing your degree, getting married, or buying a house," Viktor shared. So if you've recently done any of those things, go nuts! Enjoy your socially acceptable bragging for a limited time only.

We also wanted to know if Viktor would consider any brags to be red flags. "Accidentally bragging about something is seldom a deal-breaker in itself," he shared. "Everyone needs validation, and sometimes things slip out of us when we try to get that validation in a clumsy way such as bragging."

"For me, a red flag would be if someone brags about being mean or disrespectful to others," Viktor added. "That signals they have badly developed empathy and a flawed moral compass."

Sometimes, our loved ones may not realize they have a tendency for being boastful, so we asked Viktor if he had any advice for navigating those situations. "If someone you care about brags, I would recommend a non-reactive, but still polite response," he told Bored Panda. "A non-reactive reply discourages their bragging, without the need for confrontation."

"For example, you can reply, 'Oh, I see' and then switch topics. There’s usually no need to confront someone about bragging. By not reacting, we make sure they’re not rewarded for their bragging to discourage the behavior," he explained. "Also, keep in mind that they’re probably bragging because they feel insecure and want your validation. Realizing that they’re just insecure can make it easier to put things into perspective and not take their bragging personally."

Sometimes it can be a good thing to cut people out of your life. There are definitely people who are toxic to you and you are better off without their influence or presence. But it should almost always be bittersweet to actually do this.

This is going back to my high school days but I knew a kid who bragged that her mam didn’t care. She could drink, smoke and do drugs! Half the time when you’d stop by her mother would offer to get you drugs. I learnt early on this isn’t cool and is a massive red flag.

I’m not saying i’ve grown up to be sober and perfect but even I think it’s messed up to offer it to your kid. She literally didn’t care, she slept over at mine most days till social got involved. She used to brag to everyone at school though even after she’d been removed from her mother that she was cool.

When they brag about their firearms, especially in the plural.

Talking excitedly about the yummy venison from the deer you legally bagged is fine. I’m not opposed to hunting, and I consider handgun ownership a personal choice as long as the owner also accepts absolute personal responsibility for it. But the people who own a deer rifle or do occasional target shooting with a handgun aren’t usually the same people who actually brag about their guns.

Kate Jones 1 year ago (edited)

As I've gotten older my stance on hunting has become less rigid. If you're going to actually use the animal then...okay. I don't understand why you feel the need to do that and I find it kind of silly that you need to play dress up in army fatigues and go out and kill something to eat. But...whatever. That being said, I despise sport hunting. 9 times out of 10 it's some jerk who would poop his own pants if ever put into an actually dangerous situation with an animal. The 'hunting' is really the park employees cornering the animal into a small space so some entitled little b***h can shoot a beautiful- often on the verge of extinction- animal in the head and take a picture of it to brag about to their friends. There's absolutely no point to it other than some person who feels insecure and inadequate having to hurt or kill an animal who did nothing to them in order to feel a momentary rush of superiority that they shouldn't even feel because you didn't do anything.

Every person I met who has ever told me "I will do anything I can to survive" has been a thief, and essentially says "How can you be mad at me, I told you so" when they inevitably get caught.

Also, telling everyone that will listen that they are a "sociopath." I'm not a psychologist, but I'm pretty sure actual sociopaths don't go around telling people they are one. You're just an a*****e. Being an a*****e doesn't make you a sociopath.

Nope. And though most people with diagnosable psychopathy and ASPD don't feel one way or the other about harming people to obtain a goal, they DO fear non-social repercussions, like jail time and such, and most have no criminal record. They do not commit crimes, because being in prison does not align with their goals. The overwhelming majority of people incarcerated for violent crime do NOT have ASPD or psychopathy. Although I don't have ASPD, I have reason to know a lot about this subject. No, sociopaths don't go around bragging about it, but if asked.. many of them will happily tell you about it.

Since I’m still in school, it’s about how they can cheat their way through their grades and not get caught. Like sure we all do it every once and a while, but if that’s all you do for your grades, everyone just hears your not smart enough to do your work on your own or too lazy. Also, your bullshitting your way through high school? And you wanna go to COLLEGE? They’re probably not a good person.

Okay but, this often comes as a response to people saying you're a b***h because you're a woman and are assertive/outspoken/boundary -setting rather than people pleasing. Trying to reclaim the term and turn it into a shield is a natural reaction.

I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

This is one of the few things where my mom's opinion and mine differ. She says bargaining with the merchants is all part of the fun and experience when going to other countries. She believes that the merchants at tourists attractions in other countries over price things because they already know people are going to want to bargain. And that may have some truth to it, but my opinion is, if you see something you want, just buy it for what the vendor has marked. It's already gonna be less expensive. And most of that stuff is made by hand and a lot of work and effort goes into making it. Plus, like this thing says, I'm like a millionaire to them, comparatively speaking. Besides, it's not like we spent thousands of dollars on a vacation to save money. So, she cringes whenever I buy stuff a price value and I cringe whenever she starts bargaining lol.
