Very often we brag about our experiences, exaggerating them
in fear of not having someone to acknowledge us. Well, maybe it does not apply
to all, but there are indeed those who would engage in activities as such in
order to boost their fame among the social circle. At times we promote ourselves
as we interact with others, through the words spoken and ideas shared, not
necessarily in exchange for money but the little satisfaction on our perceived
recognition from the peers or even family members. As we speak, we are giving
people a rough idea on how our personality is like and from there we know
whether both parties are able to click on as time goes by. As we share our
knowledge or experiences, be it revolves around us or the circle involved, we
advertise our perspectives in search for those who agree to our proposals and
join in the forces. We have those who are willing to insult their friends just
so to create the comparison that they are of higher quality and we have people
who try to amaze the friends through ridiculous story plots so others would
find them spectacular. Nevertheless, the intention of advertising own self may
result in irreversible side effects such as the loss of faith and trust, if and
only if, we fail to do it the right way. Then again, the definition of appropriate
advertisement varies across individuals.
