How does one become humble?

.
I’m disgusted myself for being so arrogant and self-centered, I really want to change but I’m afraid I don’t really know how.
I know there’s not any miracle method of changing oneself, but… can anyone relate at least, have you changed yourself in any way? How?

Take risks doing things new ways, doing new things, and screw up regularly and be open, honest and public about it.

The more conservative and perfectionist you are, the more arrogant and judgmental you are.

Arrogance is just a protective wall against your insecurity. Humble people are willing to be seen as fallible, silly, etc. Practice making mistakes and laughing at yourself. Practice empathy: always ask yourself — how does the other person feel, what do they need in their lives to help them, how can I be a positive influence in others’ lives?

Go Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humility

Read up on it. Get some guidance.

That’s a freaking hard question.

Only when you have to eat humble pie is when you realize that you have to become humble.

I have tasted all the flavors!

Sounds like somebody gave you a good piece of humble pie. Did they?

resuragm
are u anywhere nere norther ohio
it would be much easyer and faster for me to work with you in person

if we cannot contact that way i then sugest you contact a old christian pastor that strikes you as a person of wisdom
it is very hard to find a true Christian, and even harder to find a good pastor

secondly i sugest a old wing chung and ti chi instructor
preferably a chinese one

he will be able to help you

Maybe all that you need to do is not talk about yourself as though you know everything. Think of how bad it must feel to people standing next to you that are listening to you tell them how good you are. Then, imagine yourself as the dumbest person in the crowd. You wouldn’t like that feeling much, and nobody else would either. Since you can likely imagine how it feels, do your best not to make anybody else feel that way.

I’m pretty impressed that you are willing to change something that you don’t like about yourself. It can be a real challenge for most people to recognize their flaws. It’s something else to admit them to other people. It something commendable to want to change them to improve yourself. Good Job!

zeleto6
i feel you have issued more harm with your comments than good
is there any way you might be able to rephrase your advice in such a way,,
well think of it like this
the advice you give,
if it were to be the deciding factor to the life or death of your most desired loved one
you would phrase the words very carefully and with precise means to thier sucsess
that might help your advice to become the tool of great help that it is able to be

Was that in reply to the wrong post??? I just wondered bc it seems to have NO relevance to the post. What was the point? (I agree with Calemus on this, by the way.)

Hey,
sorry, HarvardGIRL, I was was wondering what littlenick meant, I’ve no clue what humble pie is,
and to be honest I don’t really know what zeleto6 meant at all.
Also, I’m in Sweden, so I’m pretty far away from Ohio.
But thanks, all of you, I really appreciate it
