On a scale of 1-10, how pretentious are you?

Probably about 7-8.

It's almost never intentional. I just try to keep my language as exact as possible, and sometimes I go back and read what I've written and think "Damn, I come across as an absolute asshat". But I usually don't edit it because it gets my point across.

I "brag" about my accomplishments sometimes as well, but that's more just being honest. I've found that pretending that they're no big deal can convince me that they're no big deal, and it hurts my self-esteem and my ability to accomplish even more. Again, this is rarely intentional.

I don't score myself as higher than 8 because I try to be honest about how much I don't know.
