[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes, these extremely common phrases “I’m humbled” or “Blessed” and all the others, just shout ‘I’m the one who scored below the 25th percentile on the SAT. Not only can I not be original, but I don’t have the depth of vocabulary to say something different’[/quote] The especially irritating thing about them is that people say them as a way to try and conceal the fact that they are bragging. They think to themselves "oh if I just announce my promotion or award on social media, people will think I'm bragging, so I'll be sure to say that I feel humble or by the honor, or that I'm so blessed, and it will take the braggy part away." People need to decide -- either they feel comfortable bragging about this stuff or they don't. You can actually be humble or you can brag about your accomplishment. It's an either/or decision.[/quote] I am humbled by faux humility … [/quote]
