To not take yourself too seriously is a great quality to have. A joke that’s self-aware won’t just diffuse uncomfortable situations, but it could also lead to increased emotional well-being. Having said that, self-deprecation works or benefits only when done in moderation or in the right scenarios. Otherwise, it may end up doing more damage than good. Also, you shouldn’t deep-dive into self-deprecation so much that receiving a compliment makes you feel uncomfortable or even scared. Invalidating a compliment just for humility’s sake is not always the right ploy. Most importantly, the inability to receive or acknowledge praise could signal some deep-seated problems within you. Long story short, self-deprecation is healthy and beneficial when it’s a mark of confidence and modesty.
