I have met some braggers in life who had low self esteem; I truly didn't mind their bragging. I just wanted the person to be happy. If you were poor growing up and you become wealthy--I understand a little bragging.
Now, if you have high self esteam, high wealth, and they were braggarts; That's the combination I always found obnoxious. I would encourage these braggers--hoping they wouldn't change. I know it's wrong, but some of these people were sociopaths in suits. Most of them made their money the wrong way--taking advantage of someone, or exploiting a bad situation. Their wealth was legal, but morally made the wrong way. Why should I help a person like this?

People who combine all this feats usually never talk about themselves, usually others do. If they DO talk about themselves then there's clearly something missing (usually self-esteem).
- stan_rogers 11y agoThere are at least two named categories for people with that combination of traits: nouveau riche (people who've metaphorically won the lottery due to what they perceive to be their superior number-picking abilities) and trust fund babies (people who've had no input into the building of their wealth, but who belive it's something they deserve rather than just something they have). It's not rare at all.
