I don’t know, it depends IF they really ARE bragging.
I live a relatively simple, middle of the road life, am not status conscious, but, on the other hand, there is no shame in enjoying some of the finer things in life either.
I’d hate to think that someone might think I was bragging if I simple express how much fun I had traveling in Asia last year, or that I love my cool little house in the woods and my lifestyle.
There is pretentiousness and narcissism and then there is, simply, enjoyment and pleasure in whatever turns one on. So first I’d say, make sure someone is really bragging or you then become judgmental yourself and risk looking like you’re the one with a sour grapes attitude.
The flip side of braggarts is the person who can never squeeze out a complement.
I guess I might sound like I’m bragging if I say I happen to love to find reasons to complement others! lol
