How do I stop bragging? I feel a pretty strong drive to share my personal achievements with my friends and family. Sometimes it's telling my friend about the awesome challenge I overcame in a video game, explaining how to *actually* excel in a game, the song or art project I just completed, or the grades I got in school. I feel like I have no social energy without stimulating myself with elitism.
Like those are the things I'm most interested in, I only want to talk about other people's interests if it relates to me or I'm in a super good mood. Am I just a covert narcissist? I feel like I got along better with other self centered and achievement oriented people, who also talk about themselves and there's mutual listening involved.
You sound like a prick, stop being a humblebrag and talk about anything other than yourself.

You sound self-centered. You are the exact type of person I try and avoid in life. I have brothers that share a lot with your personality, and they can be annoying as fuck. All they talk about is THEM! Even minor events to them are BIG achievements.
It sounds like being self-centered is a part of your personality but let me tell you, you will have a shitty time with relationships (family, friends, partners).

For every time you brag, you have to tell some funny story about how you screwed something up. Not necessarily right away, but work to keep the balance.

Okay I asked for advice on how to change which makes it pretty obvious that I understand it's not a desirable personality trait.

Sounds uncomfortably close to humblebragging and it's still attention grabbing behavior.
