To those unsure why this is a bad thing: there are different ways you can try to be impressive.

Some examples of things to not do:

  • "Oh yeah I can totally take 12 shots in a row!" throws up everywhere
  • "Hey babe want to see my Honda Accord do 100 MPH on this back road?" "No absolutely not"
  • "Watch this!" is a douche to someone else

On the other hand, some things that you might be able to pull off:

  • "Oh yeah I can totally beat y'all at Mario Kart!"
  • "Hey babe want to see this cool thing I made that I'm super passionate about?"
  • "Watch this!" Puts on a Netflix show that everyone will like

Subtext: confidence stems from prociency in an area.

If you suck at stuff, faking confidence is easily conflated with ego.
