Is there a difference between showing off and bragging?

Yes:\n\nBragging: "I gotta big ten-inch" (Thanks, Aerosmith)\nShowing off: whipping it out

Yes. There's a difference between arrogance and pride. Why do so many people forget that.

Guys like to brag about girls, especially if they get to have sex with them, a girl not really, i dont think she would like to brag about doing it with a guy.\nBecause a guy tries alot to make himself look good with girls, we are often made fun about the things we say. unless they have proof

I think it is not really considered as showing off. If you feel that you are not showing off, (and you really aren't, hopefully) than you shouldn't take heart on what your friends say, you know best. And, it is pretty bad to show off... I do Taekwondo and at that sport/martial art, when you show off you're only inviting trouble because people will certainly think of you as a show off, and you might never know if someone is laughing behind your back when you make a mistake! Anyway, humbling yourself is always the best option. Good luck in your gymnastics!

No, people will notice and they will talk, but if you brag, then your a showoff  and people will talk bad about you.

No real rewards.  You get more asking, answering, and rating privileges is all.  Oh and don't forget braggin rights.  WOOPTEE DOO!

That is relative, I've done more things in my life than most people are willing to believe. By my standards, were I to tell someone to get a life, it would involve lofty goals. In my opinion, because of my background, I think that it is a phrase meant to offend rather than to be taken literally, in that case whoever told you that, you tell them I am telling them to get a life.

Some people do this to impress others or to try to impress them while others do it to try to cover up their flaws or to cover the fact that they aren't who they would like to be.

I want to applaud Schneb here and say that I agree with his position on this issue (but I still want to put my observations in as well).\n\nPride and humility have been compared several times in this thread, and I agree that they are opposites, but in order to understand them they need to be defined.\n\nPride: Having a distorted concept of who you are - can be too high an opinion of self (arrogant pride) or, too low an opinion of self (false humility).\n\nHumility: Having a true concept of who you are - being known for who are - nothing more and nothing less.\n\nPride comes into our hearts when we compare ourselves to other people - We learn humilty by comparing ourselves to Jesus, and imitating Him out of love.\n\nFor further study on Humilty (overcoming pride) I recommend reading the book "Humility" by Andrew Murray, published by Bethany House. www.bethanyhouse.com

Depends on how you look at it.  Besides double limits, nothing or just bragging rights.  There's supposed to be some special thank you from Yahoo! but I don't think anyone at this level has gotten it (yet).

Some people show off because they truly believe that they are terrific and wonderful, and they want everyone else to know it too.\n\nSome people show off because they are insecure and want people to be impressed by them and think they're special or rich or whatever.\n\nAnd then there are the people who show off to hide some ugly secret or dirty fact about themselves that they are trying to hide from everyone else, like that they're a child molester or something.

I know how hard this could be I have been in this situation before. I have found out however through my own experiences that complimenting my friends on their best features is a great way to start out, this open the line of communication and allow for that individual to become comfortable with you and trust your judgement on things. I recommend that if you want to tell someone something make sure it is a individual you have history with, do not attempt on giving someone constructing criticism without establishing some sort of recurring trust. Remember choosing you words correctly is important in conveying a constructive critique. See ya!!

people who boast about there accomplishments allot or put other people down to make themselves look better are very insecure in there own lives.you should just say to them "oh yea that's great but I am quite pleased with my own work, but keep telling yourself (they have no self esteem) and give them a lift or they might fall apart. Be judged on who you are not what you could be.

Why are you complaining? I'm in the same situation with regards to men but I don't complain. I love the attention. To me you seem to be bragging a little bit ah? Drawing more attention to you from the girls eh? You naughty boy!
