Why is this.....
Occasoinally, you can meet someone so gorgeous they make you weak in the knees, and then find out that they think they're plain and unappealing. It makes you wonder things, like "who told this person such a lie?" or perhaps more importantly, "what made them ever believe it?"
I suppose self-deprecation comes easily to most of us, but I'm grasping at the underlying reason for it. Is it just that society punishes self-aggrandizement more than the internal reward of self-confidence could offset? Or are we wary of the placing our smallest toes onto the path of arrogance, to the point of agressive overcompensation?
