What every girl on social media does when they want attention.
Humble Brag Example: When girls post half naked selfies on Instagram with a lame caption about “body positivity” and “how far they’ve come”, etc., pretending like the whole point of the pic isn’t to simply get max likes and compliments

To use Twitter as a platform for bragging. Coined as an analogue to "Facebrag," this word telegraphs "teabag" by design.
It is an open question whether the Facebrag or the T-Brag is more pernicious.

When an individual pretends not to be arrogant and pretentious by disagreeing with compliments they are given but following it up with a form of brag. Pulling this off ensures the person gets an ego boost while not appearing to be cocky.
James pulled a classic passive bragging by pretending his short code wasn't a big deal, but followed it up by stating that it's better than most others around.

When someone is talking about how difficult a situation/ task was, but because it was them they managed to do it well.
For had it not been them it wouldn't have been able to be done.
Martyr Bragging dick: "The workload Mr Boss gave me was completely unreasonable. There was far too much for someone to do in that time. I mean, if he hadn't given it to me and like Margaret instead, it never would have been completed on time"
Self respecting normal human being: "You need to shut up you martyr bragging fuckface, you're not special"
brag different is a person who got everything but instead of bragging about it helps friends get it . They don’t care what things they have if their friends don’t they’ll help them get it, they’ll even go far enough to take the close off their backs .
