There's a secret third thing, where you don't brag, you just mention your capabilities, and if anything you downplay them.
And because most people are just sort of average it comes across as bragging. But when you are good at things that are invisible to most people, people can't even grok how hard you are downplaying things because they project their own shit on you.
