Sunday Scribblings (a weekly writers forum) listed bragging as a theme. “I don’t like myself. I’m crazy about myself!” – Mae West.
Research the word “bragging”.
It is synonymous with: arrogant, bigheaded, conceited, full of yourself, immodest, vain, self-important.
It is akin to: overweening, high and mighty, egotistical, presumptuous, stuck-up, pompous, snobbish, portentous, ostentatious, imperious, and audacious.
I’ve run out of words and do not wish to look at my thesaurus.
(Autrice imparts an imperious sneer as she brags about her vocabulary skill.)
I did leave out one synonym: proud. I think the prompt should be, “What personal achievement or quality are you most proud of doing or possessing.”
I am proud of the fact that at least one person read this post.The really tough thing about humility
is you can't brag about it.

Hehe I read your post! And yeah I used proud rather than brag too :)
Yah!!! TY for stopping by!
I swear, there are some days that I want to check my blog to see if there's a nasty booger hanging on it somewhere. lol
You should be "proud" of your skills. I'm impressed! BJ

Love this piece. And I am the third person to visit you. You must feel very proud indeed!
haha I love that quote!
Bragging is seen as lack of modesty, so I think most scribblers this week are tip-toeing around the subject. ;)
I really liked your take on this prompt. Now you have lots of comments :)
I think I'm the 11th. At least to comment. More comments than I'll probably get on my post, so that's something to brag about.
LOL Perfect!
Clever stuff! I think you said what a lot of people wished they'd said!
Sigh. I always wanted the ability to impart an imperious sneer...
Wonderful post! And mine is the 13th comment!
