Modest/Humble people don't feel the need to brag or gain attention.

Low self-esteem people don't feel that they are worth admiration.

I hardly think anyone on the coli is in any position to start diagnosing this sort of thing.

But let's start off with this...

1. Everyone is insecure about something. Everyone.
2. The more you know about yourself, the more you know what you don't know. And as such, you learn how much more you can grow as a person. That sort of realization can breed modesty. And when explaining it to others it can seem like low self-esteem, when it really is not.

people with low self esteem usually aren't humble. Or at least they don't come across that way. Usually girls with low self esteem are the ones who talk about how sexy they are constantly and try to act super conceited. They put on that front for the world.


But when you talk about yourself in a defeating way it makes it sound like you're fishing for compliments. Especially if you just discredit yourself for everything and never accept praise.

It will be evident in how they deal with people other than you, I think. That's one possible way to determine humility versus low self esteem...

OP may have low self esteem.
