Stress bragging combines a complex mixture of self-promotion and vulnerability, allowing individuals to signal their dedication while simultaneously seeking recognition for their perceived importance.
Research indicates that bragging about stress can lead to negative perceptions, reducing one's competency and interpersonal warmth, ultimately diminishing support from coworkers and colleagues.
The phenomenon of stress bragging has been shown to have a contagious effect; it increases the stress levels of colleagues and contributes to an overall culture of workplace burnout.
Rather than opening a dialogue about stress and seeking help, stress bragging often becomes a status symbol, masking essential issues while potentially harming workplace relationships.
