Does talking bad about yourself help others feel more comfortable?

[Justneedtokno]

I feel like I humble myself down playing compliments. So no one thinks I have a big ego

[NathanDavis]

I don't like when people do that... talk bad about themselves, and many times people do that on purpose... fishing for compliments, so... it might give the wrong impression to some people

how about you just don't talk about yourself... lol

if you're great just be great... don't apologize for it, lmao

It actually tends to have the right opposite effect.

Sometimes, but not always.

Self deprecation can make you seem relatable or humble, but if overdone, it might make others uncomfortable or feel burdened.

Confidence with honesty usually works better , it shows you’re self aware without undermining yourself.

[Justneedtokno]

Yeah, I’m with relatable more, so not trying to get the compliments or anything is more because if they’re out there, saying that I’m doing the most or is acting as if my shit don’t think. Then I’ll put my own cap on me to make sure that I don’t have a big ego or anything.

[MontBlanc]

Exactly, staying relatable and humble while being confident is a delicate balance.

Recognizing your own worth without overdoing it usually makes interactions smoother and genuine.

Not necessarily and you shouldn't have to

[msc545]

Occasional self-effacement does a lot to offset any perceptions of arrogance on your part by others. I'm done in moderation. It's a very good way of helping others to feel comfortable and to communicate with you effectively.

well depends with what situation

[temu_shrek]

I agree with you. Self deprecating when someone compliments you is basically arguing with their opinion that they wanted to share with you. You should just say thanks! Self deprecation usually gets a better reaction in humorous conversations or when you’re trying to cheer someone up.
