Q: My friend always brags about all the things she gets, how can I ask her nicely to stop? I don't mid hearing about it sometimes, but all the time gets annoying.
It's been my experience that people who brag are usually insecure with themselves. This is often just an attempt to cover the insecurity. Maybe she defines herself by her belongings and lacks most other things...like a personality? Depending on how important this friend is to you, you can try telling her that her constant bragging is getting annoying, you can try changing the subject quickly or just stop hanging out with her as much. Hope this helps somewhat.

Thanks, I think your right, she is very insecure. She
lies a lot, because when I think about it I've never seen half of these items.

Merry Meet!
I'm a mom of three grown children. I've been married, divorced and now recently remarried. I've had more than my fair share of life's hard knocks and have been knocked down more times than I can count, but still manage to get back up and go at life again. All this gives me tons of experience to draw upon when giving out my advice. I love people and honestly want to help. Please feel free to ask me questions directly if you like and I promise to answer each one of them.

Brightest Blessings to All!!
