Still... telling people that your a Christian and doing charity work vs bragging about his golden life and punting at age 26 isn't cool at all. Just my opinion.
I suppose bragging is a personal observation you picked up due to your own insecurities.
But I never got that from his post, other then explaining and trying to give an idea of where he comes from. I don't like braggarts myself as it comes across as someone trying to make themselves more impressive through their abundance of superficial acquirements because they lack something inside that they divert attention from or think that people find them more impressive and will overlook things that they want to hide. He rather admits that he lacks something.
He is 26 and the fact that he is an introvert and has opened himself up to this discrimination with regards to his subjugation, making him the focus of quite a lot of people when he says he hates having focus on him, is not typical of a braggart and your judgement of him in those regards could possibly worsen his introversion or current inability to relate to people in fear of being judged nstead of understood!
We all seek to be seen and understood (acknowledged) for who we are when relating to others, which is impossible on a website, where information is limited in terms of an individual or who they truly are in the real world, so when someone puts themselves out there in the cyber world and receives backlash for giving you a basic outline to a tiny fraction of what he thinks is important to who he is, it's counter productive to the whole reason he's actually reached out which is, to a certain degree, probably why I've extended him the offer of personal interaction and listening/seeing his total situation, which no one here would even bother with as we all have our own problems to deal with and Rarely extend our time to those close to us, nevermind a stranger.
There's a lot I do not understand myself and I feel we can learn from and in so doing, maybe help each other understand or change various things about ourselves and our situations.
