Taking A Break From Tooting Your Horn

For a person like me who really isn't into boasting and bragging hearing others tooting their horns "all the time" can be a little annoying. I know for a fact we all know someone who is guilty of being a "tooter addict." What I've learned is that when people have to convince you that their lives are so fabulous and wonderful chances are there is something missing. For those of us, who don't toot alot it just means that we are comfortable with who we are and what we have, and it doesn't matter if other people don't always notice, because we know for ourselves. Therefore, we don't have to waste our breath telling people all the time. We all like to brag here and there, but when you do it on a daily basis this can get on peoples nerve, and make them not want to be around you. Now, for those who brag alot, I know you're thinking if a person doesn't want to be around me, because I talk about what I got, that means their jealous. This is so untrue. This just means stop talking about yourself long enough to learn about others, and what great things they have going for themselves. Remember, it's okay "sometimes" to let others know...hey look at what I got, done, have, or will have. Just be aware that you're not doing it all the time and especially to the same people. By doing things this way you give others the opportunity to feel happy for you, and not annoyed because you're tooting a bragging horn in their ear constantly. One last thing, to all those "tooter addicts," next time you brag make sure it's worth boasting about.
