I can understand your outlook mal, but do you think this defence mechanism is realistic for your potential? Or, does it hold you back? I would say I see you as very smart.. yet you don't see that? Is self-deprecating a help or a hinderance for you?

The overblown egos.. yep, I see those too... but this is where I wonder, where is that line?

I am also guilty, I do both... I will happily poke fun at myself, but then there are times I think it honestly holds me back.. I find that interesting.
