Why am I so arrogant and how do I stop?

I brag a lot especially when I get new things.

My iPhone 4 broke yesterday and my parents said I'm getting the iPhone 5 so today I started bragging that I'm going to get a new phone. I was supposed to get it today but I'm going to get it tomorrow.

I feel like I have a big ego because I'm going to go to school tomorrow and everyone's gonna think that I have a new phone even though I don't.

I always tend to brag

I wouldn't feel bad if I could back up my own words

Maybe you should keep these things to yourself and let your accomplishments speak for you.

You have nothing to brag about.

Your mommy and daddy are buying you a phone.
You aren't buying it.

You're just a spoiled little ***.
Wait til you're on your own.

You brag because you think it makes you sound cool. Maybe you're not so popular and bragging makes you feel like people will like you.

Well I don't know you so I can't do this but the best thing would be to talk to that one friend that will tell you the absolute truth. If you don't have a friend like that, go up to someone you know (maybe not well) who has that type of personality. You want the type of person who will tell you so much of the truth that you might cry.

You might feel arrogant because its a great new phone you might be buying. However, if you ask for advice in controlling your arrogance, just appreciate the smaller things you get in life e.g. Food, clothing, shelter, and then you might feel so much thankful and appreciative towards others also.

Hope this helps.

You should stop bragging. Nobody cares, and the people that do aren't that great, I promise.

Arrogance is a self made trap. Your parents should stop giving you things for nothing. If your world hinges on ego, phones and worrying about what others think, then you are leading a very shallow life. In the end, nobody gives a sh… T about anybody's things.
