I can honestly say that as the most humble person I know it's vastly overrated as a virtue. It's never gotten me anything in life.

What is that? Those guys are definitely not humble.

Most of the allegedly humble people I know are fake. When you push them a bit, they get triggered and yap like small dogs.

I'm the most humble person I know and it's gotten me lots of things in life. Maybe you just need to get better at being humble.

I'm giving up humility for lent, actually giving it up for good

If you think you are owed something for being the "most" humbled, hmm

I've never been "humbled" aka pwned don't be silly. I said I'm the most humble there is a difference.

Try to make threads about *original* or at least good jokes. Thanks.

At this point, I think we need "booooo" or tomato splat emoji.

I meant humbled as a past participle not some dunking Xbox live verb

I think humility has a lot to do with how you treat others.

[IntentionalPun]

Aside from being a genius I’d say being humble is my 2nd best trait.

Treating ppl like crud has nothing to do with humility. I treat people with kindness and it's gotten me sweet fuck all

Ego and Humility From The Stoic Perspective: Become More Spiritual and Self Reliant - Stoicism For Today with Paul McIntosh

Ego, in modern day terms, often refers to our sense of self-importance or self-esteem. However, to the Stoics, the ego isn't necessarily about self-importance; it's more closely related to self-awareness and the role one plays in the larger fabric of life.

From the above.

Humility isn’t about self-deprecation; it’s about being open to learning and growing. It’s recognizing that no matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn. Humility involves appreciating others’ value and acknowledging that everyone has something to teach us.
Humility allows one to see their faults and weaknesses without being overly critical and to work on them in a constructive way.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Humility is good among friends, fam, coworkers, and chill people who deserve it.

But against jackasses, they deserve zero humility form people. In fact, it's better to put them in their place and piss them off to teach them a lesson.

Stopped at stoics bud, absurdism with a dash of nihilism is my jam. I will say I've been through more than most people and Ive always approached things with equanimity.

Sounds like you expect something from people because of your false humility and faux kindness. This is really pride.

Sounds like you're taking this whole post at face value bud. but in all honest I treat with respect and expect respect in return.

Pfff, I'm a million times more humble than anybody here.

 

[DeafTourette]

I don't think I'm a humble person. IMO, I'm not. But I've had other people call me humble.

Don't look at humility as "I deserve to get something for being humble".... It's not some kind of quid pro quo. It also is not a zero sum game.

Look, instead, at it as being free (as much as possible) of arrogance, not thinking yourself superior to anyone, openness, teachability and modesty. This is all humanly possible. The thing is, you have to CHOOSE to live that way and it has to come from inside to live that way.

Will you stumble? Yes. I definitely do. But choosing to be the type of person you envision is a journey and it's sometimes a lonely one because not everyone will appreciate you. But the ones that DO? They make truly make the days feel lighter

 

[bitbydeath]

I don’t believe in it.

I’m all for not thinking I’m better than others but I’m against not being proud/not celebrating your accomplishments.

The value in being Humble is keeping your feet on the ground not to get praise for it.
