On a very positive note, doing the reverse actually benefits those around you! Can’t tell you how many folks have told me that they’ve started feeling better about themselves because I call myself hot all the time
Genuinely so self centered to see somebody else struggling with their own self image and deciding that what they’re saying is actually about you. There’s nothing to be sorry for, anyone who takes another person’s self deprecation as an attack against them is vain and lacks empathy.
