Rod,
My T said one of my problems was that I didn't brag enough. I always found it "unseemly" to toot my own horn. I even downplay my accomplishments to seem charmingly self-deprecating. So I think the bragging bit is a fine line. Of course bragging that you're having an affair, etc. is not very self-respectful. But is bragging a little to your coworkers that you did a good job on a project or handled a situation well bad? Or does bragging have negative connotations?
