Is it me or do people always keep try to say things that increase their status? Like trying to flex, for literally no reason?

[Deleted member 17829]

U can be having a normal convo and then a friend/random/girl will say something thats not even relevant to try increase their status.

its so cringe it immediately gives me the ick like what is actually wrong with u

 

[Deleted member 18603]

U can have a normal conversation while being dominant and presenting confidence + ability

Don't have to do either, just not try extremely hard to flex and brag randomly out of the blue

flexing is extremely based, nothing worse than a cringe modest cuck

it’s only non nt if you’re bad at it. People who are good at it can make a comment that seems like they’re being kind and thoughtful while actually just increasing their own value or decreasing others’ based off subtle implications of whatever they’re saying. It is still annoying because normies can’t tell what’s going on and they eat it up but that’s a lesson

bragging might be the least dominant thing you can do, all it shows is that you desperately need the approval of whoever ur talking to
its more dominant to jus let them infer whatever about you

very few people can do that
i would say i can but i'd be contradicting my own point

how u plant ideas in their heads? Bragging, it can be subtle like getting good grades or showing them ur instagram with 10k followers, but it still has to happen in some way. Otherwise all they are judging is ur looks

It’s even more dominant to control what people
think they’re inferring about you without them realizing it

Idk I see it all the time, people will spin bullshit stories that are cringe to me but others eat it up so easily. I think most of it comes down to body language and other nonverbal cues

nah just begging for validation its cringe

thats because most people are low sentient robots, there's not even a point of getting validation from them because it doesnt matter

 

[Deleted member 15674]

Bragging to normies must be done in a subtle manner.

For example if we were talking about a nature documentary, e.g. “hey did you see that cool documentary about forests? Those big trees look so amazing, I wish I could go somewhere like that.”

I’d then “brag” (not really, it’s just sharing a bit of interesting info about myself) and say “I did see crazy nature like that when I went to Bangladesh, I saw a lot of thick mangroves. Have you ever seen anything similar?”

That’s subtle but “bragging” but not really. You need to be be able to conceal your intentions tbh

 

[Deleted member 15674]

You’re just noticing retards tbh, anyone socially competent isn’t that obvious

 

[Deleted member 17763]

There is a point though and it’s not about validation. It’s about having people on your side. That’s a basic requirement for being a powerful individual

i see your point, but bragging even subtlely isnt the best way to go about that

 

[Deleted member 17763]

Well yeah because if the word bragging applies then by definition it wasn’t subtle

High iq af. Exactly. Bragging is what socially inept people do. Socially competent people can share info about themselves without making others feel bad

They think, they can increase their market value. Foids are always craving for attention. This is what absent parents do to a mf

 

[Deleted member 15004]

I know exactly what you mean. Subtle negging, one-upping, it's always a competition with em
