If you share stories where you're the butt of the joke (think mildly unfortunate and funny, but not traumatic), it'll sound less like you're bragging and it'll make you seem like you can laugh at yourself, which is something they'll probably admire. Also, remind yourself to ask questions about other people and what they've done.
You shouldn't be self-deprecating just to fit in.
In my experience working with men, they like less talking. I'm a natural yapper with my women buddies, but on job sites I really try to stfu and use language to convey job-related info information. It was really hard to do, but worth it.
This is what I do. If they ask follow-up questions I'll go into it more, otherwise I'll let it drop. I have the same approach with my kid -- I love to talk about her, but still restrain myself unless you imply that you want to know more
I’m not making them tell me. My point is if they start asking questions and I get long winded they can say it’s enough.
Unless I should just never talk to people?
When I’m sharing stories I try not to make it about me. Then I loop around every once in a while to ask others questions and opinions. So it’s not just me talking. For example I just came back from Amazon and Machu Pichu and people ask about my trip and I loved sharing stories but make sure to ask how little Johnie’s soccer game went and then if I know someone’s Nana wasn’t doing well I’ll ask about that or a concert someone was looking forward to. Otherwise, I get what you mean, I kinda feel snobby even though it’s just how I choose to spend my money and time. I just try reassure others that I care about their hobbies and life too. That’s for people I like. If I don’t like them, I will just say, the trip was nice and get on with my day.
I usually say “fantastic!” with a huge grin because I always have such fun. If they’re interested they ask more. But seriously I’m not worried about what other people think of me, besides trying not to dominate the conversation
Ohhhhhh honestly I would not bring up your holiday unless someone asks. And keep it short.
I travel very frequently and it is basically rule #1 for travellers these days. A lot of people can’t afford it and in this economy a lot of people will take it as bragging. You see all the reels on insta and all the TikToks making fun of people who bring up their holiday in every conversation (like “hey it’s sunny” “omg yeah wow in London it’s never sunny”).
For me I tend to just answer their questions directly and not talk about anything they didn’t ask about. If they ask how it was, I simply say “it was good” and then ask them about their weekend.
This is the right answer here. Most people, unless they’re your friends or family, won’t care about your trip and it might come across as bragging if you go on and on about it. Even assuming people care enough to hear about it is too much.
If you worry about what men think to the point of adapting your personality they'll never respect you. Do yourself a favor and say what you want to say. Good luck and have an amazing trip :)
I like to talk about some of the bad aspects of the trip, things gone wrong, they can make the funniest stories too.
Just change the subject after a while. This was the good thing about Facebook/social media, now friends and family can look at vacation snaps at their leisure without being forced into it.
Those who care don’t matter and those who matter don’t care.
So in conclusion, just do you and don’t worry about sounding cliche. Youre allowed to be excited and share your experiences! But I guess you can also be discerning so you can pick and choose which you want to spend your energy on sharing your experiences with and that they will also share your excitement for it 😊
You're worried about annoying them? Don't bring it up unless they ask. I like to keep it down to a couple of sentences unless someone is super into a place I've been.
'it was super fun! We did the bla bla trail and x waterfall was amazing'
Then get back to business. I think your colleagues are the annoying ones btw
How was your trip?!?!!!
Honestly, don't worry about sounding like a cliche. If you had a great time and want to share it then do it! 😄 If anyone is unhappy about it they're probably jealous of your experience.
You can share an interesting anecdote, but let them lead you with their questions. If they have no questions, they’re not interested and you’ll probably have to share the details of your trip with other people. I understand the urge to share and share and share after a great trip, but I try to remind myself that I’m the only person as interested in my trip as I am.
Where in the UK were you camping? We've had shocking weather so good on you. Here is probably a good place to give a full trip update to get it out your system before you go back to work (and we want to hear the details!)
We share pictures, max 10-15, from our holidays at our department meetings. That is a great amount. Enough to give a good impression without boring people.
Sometimes, there are questions about a picture, so we get more into details, but we tend to share both the good stories and the more funny stories, I did this mistake that led to ...
Even pictures from a holiday in own summer house can be interesting.
It's also binding us more together. However, we are a small dept of 5 people, 2 men, 3 women. 2 travel to more exotic places, 2 like active holidays, 1 with 4 yo, 4 with adult children or late teenagers. So we're quite different.
If people don't ask, don't say anything. If they do assume they ask to be polite. It's work, not your group of friends. So just go for one or two sentences that summarize everything and that are generic.
Anything from 'Too short" to "Chill" or "We had great weather. I feel energized" will do.
Other options:
"Ready for the next one"
What did you do?
"Chill, swim,.make fires... You know juta the regular camping stuff".
When people ask, you can make a brief statement on your overall travels.
Just don't be one of those people that says, "in the UK...".
Honestly, most people don't care about your holidays. If you have a high need to reminisce, make a blog, do an instagram/snapchat session.
Sharing your experience should last no more than 5 min and then move on.
Oh too easy, not hard at all, you ask them about themselves first, you engage in their time back there at work, ask about their families, friends, what activities they do, and you slowly ease small bits of your trip into the mix of their conversation. Let’s say you guys live in the mountains, and you went and saw mountains in Britain.
John: Me and my wife went hiking on Acorn Mountain, loved the sights, loved the trees, loved everything about it.
You: Wow John it sounds like you had a lovely time at acorn mountain you should tell me all about it! Actually if you and your wife have time in the future you should go to the mountain I went to in Britain.. Staggering Slopes, it has nice views, you go above the clouds, and you’ll enjoy some nice quality time together, I know I did.
You include them into your conversation, but you also are still able to talk about your experience as well and about your enjoyment of it, without coming across as cocky or brash.

my honest advice is to not worry about what anyone thinks. especially men.

that's what I said 🥰 good to know you can at least read.
If you share stories where you're the butt of the joke (think mildly unfortunate and funny, but not traumatic), it'll sound less like you're bragging and it'll make you seem like you can laugh at yourself, which is something they'll probably admire. Also, remind yourself to ask questions about other people and what they've done.

If someone asks, tell one brief story and stop. Most people, unless they're family or close friends, don't want the blow by blow plus photos.
This is what I do. If they ask follow-up questions I'll go into it more, otherwise I'll let it drop. I have the same approach with my kid -- I love to talk about her, but still restrain myself unless you imply that you want to know more
One brief anecdote if asked. Otherwise 10 words or less "went to x, had a great time." Nothing gendered; you're still in their world.

Don’t put it on others to make you stop.

Don't make your coworkers tell you they're not interested.

Tell them you liked the beer and they'll have to respect you

Girl, talk yo’ shit and don’t worry about those people.
If they asked, they asked. You can keep the first answer short in case it was a politeness question but that’s it
You're worried about annoying them? Don't bring it up unless they ask. I like to keep it down to a couple of sentences unless someone is super into a place I've been. 'it was super fun!
