So 2014 is gone, and we all sat through 12 months of silently listening/reading others Humblebrag. Every second post was a Humblebrag and those people are aware of what they are doing. Checking in at OR Tambo slow lounge,....blablabla. Bloody bla... I checked in at the slow lounge and got our local car guard sitting there. Who brags about that?? So proud of my kid , passed with flying colours , was so stressed, he made it into kindergarten!!!!! Proudest mom ever. oh wowwww Brilliant I say, smashing, ..... Smashing my head against a rock. Selfies of me and my bestie at the beach!!!!!!!! Yay!!! While everyone else is working!!!!! So feel free to add any examples of humblebraggers you know. But contain yourselves, otherwise we may just have to start Our own humblebook...... A place for all to brag......and rag!!!! So I thought Im the crazy one, until I found a definition for these idiots. So for 2015 lets see how many humblebraggers we know and simply reply to them with a kind HUMBLEBRAGGER!!!!!! The humblebrag. Humblebragging is a form of bragging that tries to cover the brag with a veneer of humility so you can brag without appearing to brag. (Key word is appearing, because its still easy to tell humblebraggers are quite tickled with themselves.) For example, heres a tweeted humblebrag from actor Stephen Fry: Oh dear. Dont know what to do at the airport. Huge crowd, but Ill miss my plane if I stop and do photos... oh dear dont want to disappoint. No one wants to hear how stressed you are about your upcoming TED Talk. No one wants to hear how hard it is to maintain two homes. Before you brag -- humbly or not, business or personal -- think about your audience. A gal who is a size 14 doesnt want to hear you complain that normally youre a size 2 but youre a size 4 in Prada because Prada sizes run large. Or better yet, dont brag at all. Just be proud of what youve accomplished. Let others brag for you.
