A feeling of superiority and...

Good evening.

I'd like to be sure the two sentences are pretty equivalent:

1) He feels superior to his friends and casts ridicule upon them.

2) He plays the braggart with them and he makes fun of them.

Is that right?

Thank you.

He feels superior to his friends/ He plays the braggart with them The first part tells us how he feels. The second part tells us that he expresses this feeling.
