Flexing mode is a deliberate mental and behavioral state where someone shifts into full show-off operation — posting, spending, or performing wealth and status with heightened intensity. It's not something that's always on; you switch it on when the moment calls for it. New bonus just hit? Flexing mode. Just got out of a bad relationship and need to remind the internet you're thriving? Flexing mode. The phrase acknowledges that flexing is often performative and intentional rather than a passive side effect of actually having money.
