Do you agree that if you are mentally mature and confident, with no holes in your soul, you will not need or want to brag about yourself?

I was skimming an article online where somebody spoke about their corporate job, and the first thing that crossed my mind was this person seemed very vain, insecure, lonely, and desperate for approval and attention from others. I concluded the author of the bragging article was probably severely traumatized by mental health issues, cause healthy people do not characterize themselves in the first sentence with bragging comments about their financial status.

Kinda but not really

[AI Opinion]

It seems you're observing the contrast between self-assurance and the need for external validation. Generally, those with strong self-confidence and emotional maturity often feel less need to seek approval through boasting. Instead, their sense of self-worth comes from within. While boasting can sometimes mask insecurities, it's important to consider individual circumstances. Some may express pride in achievements as part of personal or cultural expression. Encouraging open conversations and understanding different perspectives can help create a more empathetic view towards such behaviors.
