The act of bragging, recounting, one-upping, about a traumatic life event - physical (i.e. road rash, bad cramps, etc.), medical emergency (anything from a splinter to a widowmaker heart attack), mental health related (“The cheese slid off my cracker in 20__”), major life event (someone you loved croaked or croaked themselves), or emotionally inflicted (from a breakup to being gang raped by a whole Archdiocese of priests and nuns), even bemoaning one’s racial plight and/or difficulties associated with their sexuality/gender identification/you-name-it.
It is simply a ploy to garner sympathy and attention, perhaps intersectional leverage. Quite an effective strategic tool.

Get the state flexingmug. /flɛks/ (noun)Derived from English "Flexible". A homosexual slang mostly used in Malaysia
In male homosexual anal sex, a person who is comfortable, willing or enjoys being the receptive party (bottom) and/or the penetrative party (top). His exact role is not well determined and often times changes in order to complement or satisfy the other party or parties sexual desires. The flexibility of a person changing his sexual role according to the needs of his sexual partner or partners is where the term "flex" came from.
In other parts of the world, a more familiar term is "vers".

Here is what a typical Grindr conversation in Malaysia in its original text may look like:
BigDick7in: hi fun?
LastDay: t/b
BigDick7in: t
LastDay: sorry, I t too

BigDick7in: Good evening. I wonder if you are interested in having casual sexual intercourse with me?
LastDay: Before we proceed, would you care to share with me your preferred sexual role?
BigDick7in: Of course. As you may have already noticed my crass but yet frank handle, I enjoy having a bottom riding my stick.
LastDay: Thank you for clarifying. Unfortunately, I am not compatible as I cannot see myself being your sexual partner.
BigDick7in: Regrettably, I find the basis for your rejection hurtful and unreasonable, even though it's the same reason for me engaging you initially, albeit it's your positive sexual attractiveness. I resentfully advise you to not mislead people with your stated sexual role. I curse you that in lieu of a penis, a vagina is what you shall have!
