i didn’t mean to sound like i was bragging. the comment i was replying to was wondering if people make posts that are essentially creative writing exercises, and i was simply saying that, yeah, people (me in this case) definitely do that

Fair enough.

Sounds very similar to an inauthentic post itself in how it presents an appropriate background. (I think it's real, but we have to question now.)

That isn't bragging, its just their experience.

Why not?
