No one likes people who like to show off and boast. However, oftentimes, people who like to show off don't even realize what they are doing. In fact, when we have shown a gesture of disinterest.
Once or twice maybe you can still serve it, but then maybe you will rack your brain so you don't get caught up in a conversation full of gibberish.
If you are often stuck with people who like to show off, it's a good idea to practice these five ways that are usually done by the following intelligent people. Psychologically, the ways below can make you avoid deep resentment and can 'flick' people who like flexing.
Compiled from Psychology Today, here are a few tips from a psychology doctor, Andrea F. Polard. Hopefully it can help you in dealing with people who like to show off, OK!
Don't Be Easily Impressed
People who like to show off tend to always talk about themselves. Try to divert the subject a little by the fact that you are not someone who admires other people easily and has a hard time impressing you. That way can make people who like to brag awkward.
Take a little show off, then correct yourself
Bragging is generally the same as normal people, that is, they don't like it when other people are boasting. So, feel free to brag about yourself a little.
After that, then try to correct the flexing that you have done, such as "oh, it looks like I'm showing off really, deh. Don't imitate, okay. It makes other people uncomfortable."
Other People's Stories Also Showing Off
Intelligent people will usually also flick people who like to show off with a similar story. You can ask the boaster about someone else he knows, for example an artist.
Tell him that you will really like the artist if the artist removes his showy attitude. Then, ask the brag in front of your eyes, does he feel the same way as you?
Speak Up
Some people become flexed because they feel intimidated by their surroundings, so in order to 'save themselves', they try to brag about themselves so as not to lose to the people around them.
On the other hand, you may not be able to deal with it. So, what you can do is communicate how uncomfortable you feel when other people brag.
You can also ask people who show off about their comfort. Are they comfortable communicating with you?
Go and Let
Lastly, smart people don't waste time on things they don't like. In addition, intelligent people are also aware that not everyone should be made friends.
It's okay to leave it than you have to keep trying to deal with it and waste some of your energy. Focus on yourself and your business instead of listening to endless bullshit.
