I would say after somebody spends years not tooting their own horn, when a bit finally comes out I wouldn't let it bother me even if it's more exuberant than others who do it all the time.

I understand that most people who do it as a habit are often mostly exaggerating, and that's what doesn't really inspire me.

In Texas there's a common saying, "No brag, just fact."
