This is a repost from a response I previously posted. This is truly what I believe because it works for me and I think it can applicable to anyone...except pretentious pricks. I just wanted to get your opinions on it. Please see below.

Personally speaking, humility is liberation...

I come across as pretty confident and charming to most people, so some people assume me to be cocky. The truth is that I’m actually very humble. Confused?

I always keep an open mind and I’m always receptive to feedback from anyone; I rarely take offence to anything people say (this is humility). As such, I have no reservations in the way I act/talk when I interact with people (which comes across as confident) because I don’t fear negative feedback from people. As a matter of fact, I always appreciate feedback, whether good or bad, from anyone because it always makes for cool and interesting discussions; brainstorming and chatter that makes for improvement.

Hence...humility is liberation, it allows me to interact with everyone with no reservations. When you have no reservations in how you interact with people, you break down your barriers and your apprehensions.

Your thoughts?
