There are a lot of legitimate reasons to brag about something. People might not like it when you do, but if you just received your doctorate in quantum fractal space robotics after 9 long years of toil, it makes sense to throw a few photos on Facebook saying "go me." If you've just broken a power lifting record, you get a few weeks to say "hey there I am literally the strongest."
But then there are some pretty common things that raise a few eyebrows when someone tries to spin their ignorance or very real personality defect as a sign of "toughness" or "brutal honesty." Needlessly going without sleep or rest isn't a brag so much as a sign that you're probably being manipulated. Saying that you don't eat vegetables isn't exactly a brag. It just means that you probably spend an excruciating extra 40 minutes on the toilet daily. Enjoy trying to push out your trophy.
Here are some satisfying times people witnessed someone's ego get crushed.
