if they write you telling you they are humble?

First thing I think when a guy approaches me saying "I am a humble man" is NOT. I don't know why. It just goes like that in my head that if you were truly a humble person, you would not be announcing you were humble. Anyone else's thoughts?


That's quite negative thinking.

If that poor fellow is wishing to highlight his humbleness that way then it shall be ok for u normally.May be he is more comfortable by introducing himself that way.laugh

What he claimed for is true or not is obviously detectable by further interaction.

I think one shall take this as " Okay,this fellow at least seems to know the importance of being humble" though he may not behappy .

If a man or woman were truly humble; they wouldn't mention it as that is not the behaviour of a humble person.

I'm automatically suspicious if someone tries to convince me of their own self-diagnosed positives.

The ones who say "I'm a gorgeous girl" rarely are, in my opinion.

The ones who write "I'm intelujint, and I'm looking for an intelogunt guy" have pretty much sunk their own battleship.

I need to make those assessments for myself.

If someone said "I'm a 900-pound green sofa made of radium" I would need some sort of confirmation on that. I'm not just going to assume they're telling the truth.





really.

one doesn't see much in the way of green sofas theses days, that;s pretty 1975

at any poundage


Well, right, the person was born in 1975. We're all products of our environment, and also furniture.

I love when I get "Are you from this country? You spell funny?" I got into an argument with someone that the American spelling of "night" was "night" and not "nite"


My favourite is the word loser; spelled as looser. I just crack up when I see that one.

Well, I meet someone who is "humble" for say. Every time I ask the guy to do something about his work or his professions. He would either say he is not that good at it, and I usually take it by the word. So I won't ask him again, till few minute later, I saw the guy totally AWE the crowd afterwards.

When I tell that to another friend of mine, she told me that "humble" guy was afraid of making himself like an *** before me. I mean like I really can tell the difference if he did make an *** or not.

MEN! What a confusing bunch of people!


My friend is a hero as he rescues people from burning buildings or goes to traffic accidents to rescue people. He is a loving dad and loving husband. He does local charity work for the children's hospital. Every person that knows him throughout this city says he has a heart of gold. He never brags about himself or all the great things he does. When he gets compliments for the good he does; he gets embarrassed and doesn't think he deserves compliments for all the good he does. Now this is a man that is humble. He doesn't tell people he is humble with words; he does it with deeds and doesn't expect a thank you, reward, or compliment. To me that is the true definition of humble.

If I had a dollar for every time I saw that one, I would have a hundred billion trillion dollars now.

I see what you are saying. You wouldn't think that a modest/humble person would speak of themselves in that way.

When it comes to online interactions exhibiting humbleness through behavior isn't that easy I guess.

I agree with you as that is not something you would know until you met the person. Actually a person that is humble wouldn't even know he/she is and certainly wouln't state it. Once you have stated that comment in a profile; you are no longer technically humble as you boasting about it. A humble person is someone who does not boast or try to impress themselves on you. They are generally quiet, meek and typically not self serving.

humble pie?

can he introduce me to frampton???drool


Pick up a MoFi Master Recording of "comes alive", look on the back for credits. See the name "mg"? The answer to your question is, "why yes I can".

In the eyes of some this would make me humble, in the eyes of others this would make me not so humble.

Humble many times is nothing more than another's perception.

Absolutely! When David Archuleta (sp?) deflected compliments, my family bragged about his humility. A few years previous when I did the same thing after a talent show performance they told me I was rude.

It's as big (maybe bigger) of a reflection on who is commenting as it is on the object themselves.

right on little sis

Personally, I am a very humble man. That is one of the best things about me. I am also very intelligent, handsome, strong and usually the smartest person in the room. But mostly I'm Humble. spock
