I disagree with that. I get annoyed when i’m showered with reassurance and love. When I self-deprecate, I do so playfully. I prefer it when ppl join in the banter or just ignore it, i don’t like to be corrected.Speaking of that, people can be self-deprecating because they want others to come around and shower them with reassurance and love. Its a way of getting attention.
It’s the saying that goes “If I mock myself, no one can mock me.” Self-deprecation for me serves the purpose to reclaim power of those who upset me.
