おはようございます。日本語だんだんポットキャストのゆかりです。

私はいまトルコにいます。

海のちかくに、住(す)んでいます。

とてもきれいなところです。

魚(さかな)つりのことです。

私は小さいころに、
父と弟と、よく魚つりに行きました。

長い時間(じかん)、まつことは、
あまり好きじゃありませんでした。

でも、魚がつれて、
家で食べることは、大好(だいす)きでした。

みなさんは、さかなつりをしたことはありますか？

では、今日も最後まで聞いてくれて、だんだん、です。

また明日。

Learn Spanish Conversation

Learn Spanish Conversation parte 24

Some people love to brag. They might brag about where they live, the money they make or how great they are at sports.

In fact, some people even brag about how busy or stressed they are.

And it's becoming quite common.

It's called "busy bragging" or "stress bragging" — and people find it just as annoying as any other bragging.

You may have heard it at your workplace, when people tell everyone about how much work they have to do, or say things like: "You have no idea of the stress I'm under."

They might be doing this to show others that they're important or working hard.

However, a study from the US found that the colleagues of stress braggers find those people less likable and less competent because of their bragging.

And colleagues were found to be less likely to help stress braggers.

The study also found that colleagues may even begin to feel stress themselves because of the effect of people stress bragging.

Study author Jessica Rodell said: "People are harming themselves by doing this thing they think is going to make them look better to their colleagues."

However, Rodell said sharing workplace stress with others is not a bad thing to do: it's only when people brag about their stress that it causes negative feelings.

"It's not the being stressed part that's a problem," she said. In fact, the study found that if your colleagues think you're stressed, they do think you're more competent.

You just can't brag about it.
