He who feels the need to articulate his virtues & abundance

Likely has neither

Seeking external validation for the thing means the thing in itself is not validating enough

Which conveys a void of said thing

If you actually have muscle

You don’t need to tell people and/or wear tiny t-shirts

It’s obviously known, seen, and experienced

When a person wishes to been seen in a light beyond what they posses

They try to convey it through articulation & curated appearances

There is a subtle difference to note

Nothing wrong with speaking highly of yourself

But when the intent is to sway people’s opinions to view you as something you are not

nor are even on trajectory toward becoming

Then it is cringe & in poor taste
