Yes I think we all have people in our lives that do this ..some how maybe they think it makes us think more of them ..a validation of sorts…boasting is a very personal thing …some don’t think it is boasting ..me I’ve never cared for it ..try not to do it but I’m sure I have !!Lol!! In fact I cringe when members of my own family do it ! This type of posting is so common that its is movies ..an Adam Sandler movie “Go With It “ has where two high school friends meet up on a holiday somewhere and one has always posted her life as rich,wonderful , etc..and in the end like you say ..its not ..everyone’s life has good and bad ,ups and downs …I think it may actually make the individual happy thinking their life is pretty good ..or we may find their every day life boring, who really knows! I usually sit back and chuckle about what everyone thinks is wonderful or amazing ..again a personal opinion ..
There’s a joke my mom loved about women bragging to each other and one lady always commenting after each one’s boast “Thatsa nice “….the translation of this comment
was “Bull Sh*#t .. LOL!! I’ll tell the joke when we meet !! You’ll love it !!
It’s interesting isn’t it how some people have to make themselves look like they have perfect lives or are perfect … I think it goes back to low self-esteem if the person is always doing this.
