#Self Deprecation Quotes

Sometimes, we feel less than others, don't we? We find ourselves downplaying our achievements, or mocking our own abilities even before anyone else does. It's a habit, or perhaps a shield, to avoid greater disappointment, or to receive words of comfort. This is self-deprecation.

It's a strange feeling, as if you see yourself through a magnifying glass for flaws. You wonder: Is this humility? Or fear? Or just a way to avoid the spotlight?

Every one of these quotes is a whisper, an echo, or a glimmer of light in the labyrinth of this complex feeling: humility, shame, and how we truly see ourselves.
