That weird feeling when you come across a blog post you wrote but don’t even remember writing. To be fair, I’m just as guilty of these as everyone else. “Statement: I just want to serve as an inspiration to others. Translation: I need a way to brag about my accomplishments that doesn’t make me look like a conceded jackass. I can’t just admit openly that I am bragging about my accomplishments, so instead, I want to reframe the idea as me being ‘inspirational’ to other people who don’t have, or haven’t accomplished, what I have. That way, instead of bragging, I am giving a gift to those less fortunate, which is an altruistic thing to do. As an added bonus, I can then praise myself for being altruistic.” itdept4life.blogspot/2013/10/five-internet-humblebrag-translations.html
