Being Modest means not standing out.
Modesty hides my true expression.
It prevents me from appearing better than other people.
It is driven by a need to be liked and a need to be included by others.
Appearing to be the same or on the same level as other people is how we attempt to be like other people and liked by other people.
It is believed that modesty is a good quality because other people like our modesty.
Modesty is the quality of a follower.
Leaders are required to stand out and be proud, whereas followers are not.
Modesty is best way that is appropriate for me to fit in with other people.
It allows me to be proud of not being proud.
It means that I can be outstandingly unapparent & ineffectual in a modest way.
I can disappear into the background without being noticed.
