36 Flexes That Instead Of Impressing People, Make Them Cringe, Hard
While some things people do are genuinely impressive, many others are not; but that doesn’t stop the latter group from bragging nevertheless. Be it the minuscule number of hours they slept or the number of social media followers they have, such “achievements” might not be the flexes they think they are.
These and many other examples were shared by members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community, after the user ‘LeatherFruitPF’ started a discussion about it. They asked the netizens about things that aren’t the flexes people believe they are, and the redditors had plenty to share. Scroll down to find their answers on the list below and see for yourself what’s simply not worth bragging about.

Being proud about being uneducated. Bragging about having never read a book. "Went to the school of hard knocks" type of s**t annoys me. I have no problem with someone who isn't educated. But if you're flexing about it, you're a moron.

Declaring yourself an alpha male. I guess that means something in your little subculture, but to the rest of us, that's just head-scratchingly silly.

The ceo of the company I work for was just featured on the cover of a magazine talking about how great their company culture is.
One of his points was how the company set up a program to annually nominate a coworker who can’t afford Christmas where their other employees donate to them. He used this to brag about our amazing culture
To me this reads as, we pay our employee so poorly that on an yearly basis we have so many employees who can’t afford Christmas we have to nominate who needs help the most and then we guilt trip our other grossly underpaid employees to compensate for it.
So basically any company that brags about culture due to their employees helping out other employees when it comes to financial stresses most likely cause by poor pay. I would say “donating” PTO falls into this category as well.
#7
Working yourself to the point of having absolutely no time for yourself. Work ethic is good, strong work ethic is great. Living to work is not great.
#8
Westerners moving to Dubai and flaunting their new lavish lifestyle. You’re basically validating the use of slaves to build that dystopic s**thole.
#11
Literally anything you have to try flexing. The most genuinely impressive things by nature do not require you to rub them in peoples faces.
#12
Anything you had zero choice in. Your [intimacy], skin color, nationality, sexual orientation.
#14
Not doing something. Like not watching a popular show, not drinking coffee, etc etc. the amount of people who say these things as if they want a f*****g medal for it is astounding.
#15
Boasting about how much something they’re wearing costs even though you know they can’t afford it.
#16
"I'm a nice person unless you p**s me off. Then I go crazy" or something similar If you're only nice when you're calm, you're not nice.
#22
Perfect attendance in school. As an adult, as I've noticed kids with stuff like health issues, family issues, etc. where they have no choice but to miss school, I've come to realize that perfect attendance isn't a flex. It's just having luck in life circumstances.

Having an expensive, usually large designer/ purebred dog, or a wolf hybrid. But especially having a husky. All it shows me is the 90% chance you didn't do the research OR, that you gaslit yourself into thinking you'd seriously go running that much. Sincerely, The neighbor that catches several f*****g bored, escaped huskies per year in my suburb. A husky is a WORKING dog that, in its ideal life, would be RUNNING 50-100 miles a day *while* pulling heavy cargo-- and if you don't find a way to simulate that, well. This is a dog that is going to *find* a way to simulate that. Usually by eating your house, and or yeeting itself over your adorable little fence and chasing everything that moves. I love dogs, but I hate most husky owners.
#27
Being a nihilist who complains about how meaningless life is and how awful all human beings are, and how the world will be so much better when we all die. Newsflash to every redditor: It doesn’t make you smarter or more enlightened than everyone else. It’s just sad behavior [to be honest].
#31
Boasting/bragging about lots of money or material things. Move in silence.. why does everyone care so much about image?
#33
Mom's who post videos of themselves with tons of kids while looking like s**t themselves thinking they're saints for "sacrificing" themselves to raise their kids.
#34
Flashing large amounts of cash. It's just makes it look like that's all the money you have, and you are too poor to have a bank account.
