How can I come off as intimidating and self-obsessed? (1 Viewer)

[SnowWhite]

OK I know the title sounds weird, and that is exactly opposite of what I am-insecure and kinda awkward.
But I am meeting my high school friend after 5 years, and I heard from a mutual friend that when she met her, she was bragging indirectly about getting into a top major and university. I don't wanna look like I am losing, I also want to come off as someone who is successful and is at the top of the world and idk how to do that (because deep down I feel anything but successful lol). I don't wanna directly brag, but idk what I want or can/should do either.

Listen, this is how you make others think you are doing amazing: be confident about what you do and seem like you are so happy to the point where they think you have the best life ever. No matter what you are doing at the moment, make it sound like it's the most positive thing ever.

I have a little trouble with that. Most of the time I embarrass myself.
