“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!

"How Crazy All Their Exes Are": 35 Things People Boast About Without Realizing It's A Major Red Flag About Them The people who instantly have a solution for everything.

Fat? Eat less. Addicted? Quit. Depressed? Smile more. Broke? Get a better job. Tired? Sleep more.

There is nuance to the issues of society. Major red flag if you're in your 20's or older and can't critically think.

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.

    People who actually brag about this usually are people who refuse to accept personal fault, or to work on themselves at all.

    I know a couple of people who do this. In both cases I also know enough of their personal dirt / tea to know they would not want to be treated the way they treat others and that their, "It's everyone else not me" tales are in all cases at least exaggerated and in some cases complete fabrications of their own minds.

    I've cut people off quickly because I've had enough frustration in my life not to let people in that will destroy years of me being able to get to a good place. I've dealt with the abuse and drama too much over my adult life to ever want to walk that path again. If it's obvious to me that you are an abusive person who doesn't mind talking behind other peoples backs or taking on positions of hatred towards someone that never did anything to you only because of how they live their life...I've got no time for you.

    I'm on the receiving end of this because I screwed up recently for the first time in a 10+ year friendship. Have been ghosted like all the others who wronged her despite what I thought was a mature conversation and several apologies from me. I'm not going to chase.

    ... I'm not really fine with the throwing around of the word "toxic" in regard to persons who have faults and struggles. It's not that I'd take everything just because they've been wronged in whatever way, or advise anyone to, but a second thought should not be asked too much, if that person ever meant anything to you at all. Who's fast with this usually is a prime example of toxicity themselves, they've just not run out of friends yet. But, they likely will, and just then start bragging about their superior loyalty, eh...?

    I would never brag about it but have found I have been able to cut people out of my life who I feel aren't a good addition to my life. When I was younger, I was too forgiving and put up with too much. Now that I am older, I have less patience for bad behavior. I recently dropped a friend I really liked but realized it was too one sided. If it's always me who keeps in touch, she really doesn't care about my friendship. I feel bad, but it's more that it hurt me to realize I didn't mean as much to her as I thought. We used to live right near one another so I think I may have been a friend of convenience. Once she moved, it was like I did not exist, even though she seemed happy to hear from me.

    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.

    Sad to think how she turned out really.

    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.

    Bragging about illegal/shady stuff they get away with. They should be ashamed of that stuff and not proud of it.

    If the residents of a town or neighborhood say that it’s a good place to raise children as one of the first reasons to move in, I assume it’s a pretty miserable place for everyone else.

    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.

    The results of their ancestry DNA tests. Mentioning it in passing when it’s relevant is fine and interesting but some people get way too attached to those percentages and never seen to stop bragging about how they’re 15% “something that makes me feel interesting to say I am”

    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.

    I once worked for a man who bragged about being a stone cold sociopath.

    And yep, he did not pay his invoices. I blame myself the most.
