Braggers & Exaggerators

Exaggeration occurs when we are sharing the experiences of ours for the very first time, where it then becomes less interesting, to the point where we would outline the incidents taken place, briefly. Bragging is one of the most common skills needed when a person is to show off, to amaze others, to create the fantasy he ever wanted though it does not exist; a skill which also requires little exaggeration at times. Exaggerators might not be braggers, but braggers are definitely exaggerators. We exaggerate, with or without us knowing; the words we’ve chosen to express ourselves, the facial expressions we’ve put on while telling the stories and our hands with all sorts of body languages, which leave the false impression to others, especially when there is misinterpretation. On the other hand, there are those who choose to create the events which never existed as though it could attract attention even more and never did they know that the third parties already figured out the truth of the tales being told, where the original purpose of fascinating others turns out to be a failure. The fact which is not known by many; that we exaggerate at times, with a certain level that we are not aware of, while we are busy commenting the others on how exaggerative they can be, be they the braggers or exaggerators.
