Modesty

[Moongaze]

Are any of you modest people? 

I am... an extremely modest person.  I don't like to boast or brag.  I'm always willing to do the right thing, no matter what has to be sacrificed. I can be a bit bashful at times, especially when I'm complimented, it doesn't matter what... I get lost in words and I don't know what to say.  I get blush in the face when I get called the best, or if someone tells me I'm awesome.  I'm always under rating myself, even if I know I did good, I just don't like the idea of being above other people.  I'd rather lend a hand to help people instead of standing over everyone and everything.

It definitely is one of my better qualities, and people love and respect me because of it.  I like the feeling I get when I reach out, and go that extra mile.  It just fills me with a sensation that can't be matched.  But where I'm always under rating myself, I can't accept anything in return for what I do because even though I know I did good, I want to maintain that low status.

Anyone else feel modest in a similar way?

No, I'm an egotistical tyrant.
But I don't let anyone know is all.

People say that I'm modest, but I'm always thinkin' "I deserve this" or "I'm way better than all them"
So in my own mind, no, but in practice, yea.

My mind is broken. Darn you Dunning—Krueger!

Yes I am modest and was even more modest, but then I discovered the Dunning—Krueger effect, and I know that it's correct.
Basically, if your really good, you undermine yourself and are modest. If you suck, you underestimate yourself and feel like an expert.
So now that I know that I was modest because I'm good, I feel like I am good, which makes me feel confuzzled.

But yeah, I'm still as modest in practice.

[Seko]

so....im awesome then?

Like that, I do the same thing.
But afterwards, I'm like "Yea, I AM awesome."

[Righteousbro]

so....im awesome then?

Depends on how you really feel, if you're only modest in practice then that's not applicable, but if you really feel like your not as good as everyone says you are then yeah.

But it's okay Seko, you're awesome no matter what.

Where'd you get the pic? Its pretty grainy...
If you beleive it to be true, then it is.
So I think I'm awesome, therefore I AM!

...your name is Tyla or Tyler? o.o

I'm super modest I guess. It takes something significant to make me say, "I done good didn't I?", but otherwise I often degrade my achievements.

I always try to do the right thing, but I really don't like hurting people's feelings. I do think I'm egotistical as well but I try not to show it x.x

[Moongaze]

I've always been someone who's true to myself and others.

With me I think it varies with my moods, but overall I'd say that I'm pretty modest...certainly compared to how I used to be when I was younger (I was such an arrogant brat! >.<)
On the whole I think that people with low self-confidence or self-esteem tend to be modest and people sometimes say that my self-confidence isn't that great so...make from that what you will.

I have very high self-esteem, and a very good outlook on life.  I don't know why I'm so modest though.  Meh.

I'm not really sure about myself! I think I am a bit modest, but I also think I'm not. I'm kind of a confused person. I really don't know what type of personality I have. Often when I get a cause I think of a bunch of effects to do at once and choose at random Kinda like those interactive game things where it's like "what will you choose to do?". I don't know if that makes sense, but you may understand what I'm talking about slightly, I don't know...

I'm very modest. But I'm also very, very shy. So...Yeah...
