“We are expected to be perfect all the time.The result is that more and more people are carefully managing their online images,”says Elizabeth Bernstein.
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.
Bernstein talked to some experts who said that people brag for all sorts of reasons:to appear worthy of attention;to prove to ourselves we are doing fine and that people who said we would fail are wrong;or simply because we're excited when good things happen to us.
“Feel sorry for them,because they're doing this unconscious,destructive thing that won't help them in the long run,”said Professor Simian Valier,a research psychologist at Washington University.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇议论文。生活中,大话王最讨人嫌,可是不知不觉间,我们竟然开始用夸张的语言打造自己的形象。在疯狂吹嘘的背后,其实是一种自我营销,但是长远来看,这种方式对人们没有太大帮助。
