Excessively self-deprecating

A sense of humor can be a great way to break the ice and put people at ease. But when it comes at your own expense too often, it can signal low self-confidence.

Constantly making fun of yourself or putting yourself down not only affects how you see yourself but also how others perceive you. Over time, it can erode your self-esteem and reinforce negative self-beliefs.

It’s important to remember that we’re all human and we all have our quirks and flaws. But instead of constantly highlighting them in a negative way, try to embrace them as part of what makes you unique.

You’re more than the sum of your perceived shortcomings. And once you start believing this, others will too.
