Humble Brag

We’re just 2 weeks away from the end of 2016. This year has brought bunch of incidents to be upset about and memories to be kept. One of the most devastating is the fact that some precious people of mine are growing apart from each other. These two words might’ve caused that: HUMBLE + BRAG.

No one knows where the phrase came from. No one knows what it means. Well in my opinion....

Humble-Brag = You’re sort of ‘whining’ about something which deep inside you know  or it’s commonly known that the thing you’re ‘whining’ about is something that the society see as a good thing and not everyone has the chance to be in the situation.

And these humble braggers would tell you “I’m just sharing. We all do. Right? I’m not bragging. And most importantly, Im NOT HUMBLE BRAGGING”

Oh whatever. I’m not gonna tell you what’s the meaning of sharing and bragging. Even toddlers would know the difference.

But just for fun, I’m gonna share some examples on what people who are Sharing, Bragging, or Humble Bragging would post.

SHARING : “Should study now. Tomorrow’s final test.” (Said an average student studying abroad, posting a picture of hot chocolate and 3 opened books without giving details on the hot choco brands)

BRAGGING : “OMG getting a MASTER DEGREE is hard. Should study for tomorrow” (Highlighting on the fact that she’s a fancy bitch pursuing master degree, posting picture of her fancy dorm with Bentley inside the room. WHAT)

HUMBLE BRAGGING : “Oh nooo I haven’t studied at all. I’m so gonna fail.” (Said someone who asks and shares a lot in the class. Secretly wishing that someone would say “Oh you’re gonna be fine, you’re smart, you don’t need to study.”)

Sorry for the not so fun examples. But I hope you get what I mean lol.
