If you made a Venn diagram of self-promotion, the phenomenon of humblebragging sits in the overlap of two distinctly American pathologies — where manipulative self-consciousness meets our maniacal desire to succeed. What feels better than an ego boost? An ego boost everyone knows about.

To me this is the most pathetic form of expression. I can’t even stand to follow my friends who post shit like this. Oddly, it seems most pathologically maniacal people that are driven to succeed never indulge in humblebragging.
