The self deprecation that we overlook and why it's complicated - a podcast by Foo Podcasts

I will admit I myself like to point at trash cans, turn to my friends and tell them, hey, this is where we belong. We laugh! I think being able to laugh about yourself is really important, and many people use humor to cope with things that stress them out. In a society like where I live, where you have to achieve a lot, look a certain way, act a certain way, humor is a good way to come to terms with all the things about yourself that do not fit the idea of what a likeable person should be.


But, it’s not all just fun and games. I’ve observed a few situations, where I felt like, the way someone talked badly about themselves in a joking or even a serious manner, was kind of unsettling for me. I want to give you a few examples and if you also have that habit of talking negatively about yourself, maybe this can help you become more aware of that habit, because I have a hunch that it’s not good for you long term.
