I annoy myself

I've come to realize after all these years, that I have a tendency to use self-deprecating humor. A lot.

Does anyone else do that? Is anyone else ANNOYED that they do that?

I'm not saying it's great to be an egomaniac, but it seems pretty stupid to put yourself down. You have other people to do that for you! :)

But seriously ... if you accomplished something, why downplay it? Or why pick out the not-so-great things?
