Be more humble

i need to gain self-confidence, but i also need to show more humility when others disagree with me…and rid myself of this feeling of i deserve better and i’m so above this, because it shows and i didn’t even realize.

i just don’t know how to find a balance between humility and self-confidence. i’m a contradiction. i am working on having more confidence in myself, so that i don’t fall apart around others. in social situations i feel like such an outsider, i just want to hide within myself and i feel so small. but when it’s all done and i’m back home alone, inside i feel too good for some people and some things. and when i do speak up i speak out of resentment and i guess i appear like i’m entitled to everything…
:(

i pride myself in being open minded but i am a hypocrite. this is really hard for me to admit and put out there. i need to show more acceptance, and more friendliness to people, especially to views completely different than mine and listen to them, even if i think they are wrong or speaking nonsense.

I don’t exactly know how to be humble, but I know that at times, I can be. I just really want to always be humble to people. It’s always a good way to be, and recenlty, I’ve only been able to show a bad side of me. So, I want to show people that I do still have that good side with me. It’s just harder to get out right now.

this is an embrassing goal for me to express because i dont think anyone wants to think “hmm im not humbe, im quite full of myself and on some level i know better then you do” so therefore this is very hard for me, i do not think i am in any way better then anyone, however there some times where i feel i know better and i want to say “no thats not right your an idiot and i know this because blah blah and be a blow arse… however my goal is to be humble accept that everyone knows something i dont that everyone has knowledge and i may know alot about something say i have studied it or done a paper on it BUT they may know more or know more about something else or they may be wrong but does it matter?? no, agree, nod and be a nice person if it doesnt hurt them dont go on at them or act suprior because you are not. so for my first humble moment tomorrow at playgroup i will be kind, allow myself to listen and not jump in with advice nod and try to understand these mums and listen to there advice see if i can learn some stuff to apply to my parenting.

I think this is a very important aspect in a person’s life especially with so much ego going around. I just want to be a kind person and not try to impress anyone with what I have or don’t have or what I am doing or going to do. Today, humility is looked upon as a weakness, the world tells you you have to be ruthless, confident, and think about what “YOU” want. I don’t want to do that. I can feel confident and at the same time be humble.

This is something I need to improve on. It’s something hard to define and grasp for me. I guess it is just removing that feeling of self-importance, but than what about confidence and believing in yourself, self-love.
I am a little confused.
What should I sacrifice to be humble and what can I keep?

I am glad I finally did it
