He's not cocky; he's insecure. For what reason would he say this to you?

Just so you know, in my experience of which is way too long to talk about I know that people Bragg a lot do so because it’s not true. It’s like building up their own self-esteem. So I would agree with you. I don’t think he can really do that.

You could just ask him straight up why he feels the need to do that.

Then you could kindly express to him that he doesn’t need to do that.

He does just sound insecure.

I really want to put my petty response, but I won’t because I’m trying to grow as a person hahaha.

Tell him it’s a turn off when he acts that way. It makes him seem insecure and you find it unattractive

If my boyfriend starting doing that I'd tell him it's unattractive to me - which isn't a lie, that sounds annoying and would put me off so much.

I used to date a guy who bragged about random shit ALL the time and he was deeply insecure and had a fragile masculinity complex. I broke up with him after 2.5 months. I still cringe thinking back. Nah fam!

Just do the same to him when he starts bragging. For example tell him how many guys you’ve been with and their attractiveness (lie if you have to). He won’t do it again

we really love each other and he’s an amazing boyfriend. this is the only thing about him that can be so annoying. it’s like a god complex and he doesn’t do it all the time I’m just wondering how I should react next time. normally I just laugh at him
