I think there is a time and a place for boasting... But I would totally boast to my friend (no problems there) and if they boasted to me I wouldn't get all up tight about it.
Sometimes "boasting" can be annoying, I guess, if maybe you think that person is trying to show you up.
I mean, if my friend bragged about Uni and all that, I would seriously be pleased and not care...
I am not even at uni yet and she is a mate who is proud, so it doesn't bother me.
Though, if I was in the same course as her and she boasted and went on about stuff, maybe I would get sick of her because if I was somewhat not doing as well or something it would put me down or make you seem all high and mighty...
I reckon it kind of depends on your mate etc.
I tend to only boast to certain friends cos we can just both boast about things as it comes up in conversation and it isn't awkward cos we know that between us we try not to judge each other etc. and just chill.
All in all, I don't mind a good boast, but once I've heard it, I've heard it, so move on and brag about something else...
