By position of power do you mean they're your president or that they're boss?

I mean either way a casual, "Oh hmm, that's nice. :)" and then change of the subject (especially if it's at work and you have better things to do than listen to Nancy brag about how her son got into Harvard or something).

Not exactly, but if I don’t come-tow to this person, the other people near me will basically shun me. This person provides a service or sort. But they talk about themselves constantly and how powerful they are CONSTANTLY.

I kind of feel like shunning would be a blessing of sorts in this situation...

I’m in a community with a bunch of lemmings, aren’t I?

Unsure if you mean this community or your life community where you seem to think going, "Oh yes you're wonderful!!" to get by in life seems like a great permanent plan...

Oh no, I didn’t mean FS, sorry. I meant the situation I was referring to.

Haha it's okay, I was just confused. It's a sucky situation though, because depending on the impact of the shunning (is it something that will impact your job, ie do you work in commissions or anything where togetherness/getting along aids you) it may suck that you have to pretend to be interested, because both long term can kill your mental health too.

Yeah it’s getting to me. Like if it’s a legitimate achievement I give praise where it’s due. Or I try to show interest by asking questions. But if it’s random bragging I don’t join in. I’m tired of it. It’s exhausting in boring. Is a person really snarky, sarcastic and devious if they keep telling you this over and over again? And act proud of it? I’m not so sure anymore. I’m trying to take breaks when I can and slowly remove myself from the situation when possible.

DA They sound like a narcissist tbh. Or majorly insecure. Or both. :(
