Humblebragging makes you even more of a jerk than regular bragging, according to science.
Listening to someone boast about their accomplishments can be a seriously draining experience. But while nobody likes a bragger, a brand new study suggests that humblebragging is even more universally despised than feigning modesty about your own achievements.

A humblebrag is when someone reveals some kind of positive news about themselves but delivers it under a veil of artificial modesty, and it’s become an increasingly common way for people to talk themselves up on social media without appearing self-centered. Well, if this new study out of Harvard and UNC-Chapel Hill is any indication, people can see right through it, and they think you’re even more of a jerk than if you had just boasted openly.
