What do you mean by showing off?

The so-called ostentation and extravagance is to show off with great fanfare. Those who flaunt themselves often talk big, brag about themselves, and sometimes even deliberately exaggerate their abilities and charm. Such people seem to be annoying at some time, because they will not only arouse others' disgust, but also make people feel a little disgusting. At this time, we often use the word "evil spirits hate the right" to describe him.

In fact, in my opinion, it is more appropriate to describe people who are ostentatious and cool, especially those who exaggerate. Because such people often make people around them feel very disgusted, and even cause anger against them. This situation often happens in the workplace, and some employees often think highly of themselves, belittle themselves and inadvertently put themselves in front of everyone. Such people are often rejected and ignored by colleagues, thus suffering setbacks and failures.

However, we can't deny all people who show off because of this. Maybe some people show bad qualities such as affectation and hypocrisy, but we can't ignore their efforts to show their serious attitude and professionalism. In some fields, such as performing arts and other industries, some ostentatious behaviors are actually necessary means of self-packaging and publicity. And we just need to filter out those inexplicable nausea and show off in time.
