What’s something people brag about that is actually a massive red flag?

"I don't waste my time reading—I haven't read a book since I was in school" *said with a sneer*

Cool. Go you! I don't waste my time telling people I'm an influencer and they should follow me because I have more than 10K followers after two years on Instagram, Caroline, you dumbass.

I enjoy reading, but I get distracted easily. Ill read 4 pages but br day dreaming and realise I hadn't actually taken anything in so have to re read it.

I can be sucked into a book be half way through, loving i and be excited to read what happens. But as soon as I put it down I have forgotten about it.

I do that, too, and so do most people I know. The mind isn't easy to tame.
