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'm in the same boat Fred. People are actually shocked when they find out what I retired from. So I kind of dance around that subject. Usually the first question I get is, did you ever kill someone..... So generally I don't brag or talk about myself, it made my life a lot easier being humble.
