I try to be humble, since I see it as a good trait. Other people also say I'm humble.

I'm the most humble person you'll ever meet. That's right more humble than you'll ever be. No one can reach my status of humility.
I act humble but secretly want attention, but when I get it I find myself uncomfortable and downplay the attention or kind words and it accidently gives the impression that I am a humble person when in reality I generally just lack confidence.
If you had my vastly superior intellect, you would probably realize that I am more humble than you.I'm WAY more humble than anyone!!

[QUOTE="Lord_Daemon"]Sometimes I'm like that as well. Same here. It's very conflicted. For me though, I want attention for things I don't have or for what I'm not. I sometimes don't think I deserve attetnion, aside from the good qualities I have which I don't think people notice as much as I'd like.I act humble but secretly want attention, but when I get it I find myself uncomfortable and downplay the attention or kind words and it accidently gives the impression that I am a humble person when in reality I generally just lack confidence.

I sometimes feel like I deserve attention, aside from the good qualities I do have. Me threeI'm very humble, which tends to drive friends mad since I refuse to take credit for my hard work, for helping others and for making it through my life as I have.
I don't see the point to bragging about things, it's meaningless. Better to just get on with what needs done and leave any glory hunting for those who like having a swelled ego.
I don't like the concepts of either pride or humility. As far as I'm concerned, understating your achievements is just as great a crime to your capabilities as overstating them.
Are you criticizing slave morality?! Ahh! Quick, I need to get this man some Western scripture!I don't like the concepts of either pride or humility. As far as I'm concerned, understating your achievements is just as great a crime to your capabilities as overstating them.

Ironically, that statement in and of itself is boastful. "Hey everyone, look at me I'm so humble!"I am humble by nature, and I don't like being boastful and haughty.

I don't like to boast about past achievements... but at the same time I will demand credit for something I did and for which no credit was given to me.
I learned to not be so humble when it comes to school and especially work. Not as a mean to boast about my achievements, but as a way to convey I would be a valuable asset to any company I am interviewing for, that I can own up to my success and failure. But I also had to learn to state my past success in a matter-of-fact manner to appear professional
Privately, I'm more than happy to stay in the shadow
[QUOTE="ghoklebutter"]Ironically, that statement in and of itself is boastful. "Hey everyone, look at me I'm so humble!" Not really. It's just a trait of mine which has also been observed by others. Therefore, I can safely say that I am humble. I don't always see it as a good thing, though, as most of my "humility" has come from my self-loathing and self-deprecation.I am humble by nature, and I don't like being boastful and haughty.
