While some things people do are genuinely impressive, many others are not; but that doesn’t stop the latter group from bragging nevertheless. Be it the minuscule number of hours they slept or the number of social media followers they have, such “achievements” might not be the flexes they think they are.

Being proud about being uneducated. Bragging about having never read a book. “Went to the school of hard knocks” type of s**t annoys me. I have no problem with someone who isn’t educated. But if you’re flexing about it, you’re a moron.
Being proud about being “brutally honest” when they’re just rude.
Declaring yourself an alpha male. I guess that means something in your little subculture, but to the rest of us, that’s just head-scratchingly silly.
Men bragging that they’ve never changed one of their kids' diapers in their lifetime. Basically you’ve just outed yourself as a sy, uninvolved parent and a sy partner.
Being an influencer.
Not just having a big or expensive car, but a loud one.Nobody is impressed.
Working yourself to the point of having absolutely no time for yourself.Work ethic is good, strong work ethic is great. Living to work is not great.
Westerners moving to Dubai and flaunting their new lavish lifestyle. You’re basically validating the use of slaves to build that dystopic s**thole.
Not taking Sick days.
Being disrespectful to the disabled or weird kids as a joke.
Anything you had zero choice in. Your sex, skin color, nationality, sexual orientation.
Bragging about not wearing sunscreen. Enjoy your premature aging and wrinkles, dumb**s!
Not doing something. Like not watching a popular show, not drinking coffee, etc etc. the amount of people who say these things as if they want a f*****g medal for it is astounding.
Boasting about how much something they’re wearing costs even though you know they can’t afford it.
“I’m a nice person unless you p**s me off. Then I go crazy” or something similarIf you’re only nice when you’re calm, you’re not nice.
All their ex’s are crazy.
Fighting in bars. Honestly, being the type to square up with anyone over anything that you could just as easily walk away from.
“I tell it like it is.“No you’re just a b***h.
Number of followers you have on social media.
Showing up to work or class when you’re deathly ill.
Driving around in a $50,000 new car while not being able to cover a $1000 emergency.
Perfect attendance in school.As an adult, as I’ve noticed kids with stuff like health issues, family issues, etc. where they have no choice but to miss school, I’ve come to realize that perfect attendance isn’t a flex. It’s just having luck in life circumstances.
Calling themselves “entrepreneurs.” Dude, I know you’re in an MLM.
Your lack of sleep. You’re doing significant damage to your brain and self.
Bagging a cheater.If he cheated with you, he will cheat on you!
Wearing designer with huge logos.
How much of a drinker they are.
Being a nihilist who complains about how meaningless life is and how awful all human beings are, and how the world will be so much better when we all die.Newsflash to every redditor: It doesn’t make you smarter or more enlightened than everyone else. It’s just sad behavior tbh.

Actually flexing.
How hot of a person you “pull” to cheat on your spouse/partner.
Having a work calendar booked wall-to-wall with meetings. It’s usually an executive or upper management type.Being on calls all day is not good for you or the company. If you’re in charge you can decide which meetings are worth your attendance. Also should be delegating more.Finally, not leaving anyone else a chance to ever book a meeting with you is just an a-hole move.
