What is bumble-bragging?
Humble-bragging happens when someone makes a comment that used self-deprecation to announce something about which they want to boast. It may seem as if that person is sharing a personal critique, but he or she is actually using that as an excuse for showing off.
Examples:
- “I’m such a homebody, and I’m getting sick of having to attend so many celebrity galas.”
- “I may be aging, but I can still fit into my wedding dress 30 years later.”
- “Bored out of my mind. I can’t stand these country club functions my spouse drags me to.”
- “I’ve got nothing to wear to Wimbledon this year. That’s what losing 50 pounds will get you.”
- “Call me petty, but this year’s Oscar-winning actor isn’t that handsome, up close and personal.”
- Just diagnosed with skin cancer. That’ll teach me to stay out of the sun on those annual Caribbean cruises.”
