Bragging online

I don't mind bragging to immediate family, but even with my best friends I feel a little awkward initiating a conversation about a personal accomplishment.  The only way I really feel comfortable is if I can naturally work it into a conversation.  For example I never tell anyone I am an attorney until they ask what I do something about the legal system or law comes up in a conversation.

But when I read posts by other people I often don't think badly of them for bragging (unless it is some asshole know-it-all).  I usually am glad to hear good news about anything.

How do you guys feel about making a thread or facebook post just to announce something you did?

I dont do it, I find Facebook narcissistic and in all honesty when someone is gushing over something I did professionally it makes me feel very uncomfortable. 

My attitude in life is everyone in life has something special to contribute and different from one another, so what I do is positive like others but am not comfortable talking about it. I'd rather let my actions speak for themselves.

I also dont judge people who do, its just not my thing.
