flexing energy

Flexing energy describes the vibe a person gives off when their whole presence is oriented around showing off — even when they're not actively posting or buying anything. It's a frequency, an aura. Someone with flexing energy tends to name-drop prices in conversation, position themselves in front of the right backdrops, and somehow always steer discussion toward their latest acquisition. It's not always malicious — sometimes it's just someone's default mode — but you clock it immediately, and once you do, every interaction is filtered through it.
