They tend to embellish

One thing to know about boastful people is that they are pressed to make people think highly of them and they are not above embellishing stories or flat-out lying to achieve their desired result. Have you ever listened to a boastful person speak and think to yourself, “There’s no way that actually played out how they’re saying it did”? You were probably right.
