Some believe that bragging is a symptom of an identity crisis because as Psychology Spot explains, “people who feel complete and self-confident do not need to constantly show off their achievements and qualities because internal recognition is enough for them, they do not need external applauses to underpin their ‘ego.'” Oftentimes, these are the people who base their identities on things like their title at work, marital status or overall relationship status, the number of stamps they’ve accumulated in their passports, their accomplishments, and so on, which is why they have to constantly bring these things up in conversations.
