　　But the issue is not limited to the Internet.In a fiercely competitive job market we must sell ourselves on multiple platforms and show that we are better than others.In fact，we have become so accustomed to bragging that we don't even realize we are doing it，according to Bernstein.This is harmful to our relationships and puts people off.
