  1. I struggle with this question a lot too. I wonder? I don’t want to be a bragger but I a) want people to know what I’m up to b) want to promote my work and who I am and c) want to know what my friends are up to. I guess it all comes down to perception.

  3. It’s simple when you tell about “the important stuff you are doing” – it’s informing.
    When you call at middle of the night to say “I am in hot tub with a hot dog that has my name on it!” – it’s bragging. =)
    Informing has a positive value for a receiver.
    Bragging has a negative one.
