It can be either humility or insecurity. Take your pick.

They're a humble, good person, they're actually depressed, or they're fishing for compliments.

I always do it in a humourous way. It's the only time when my jokes can't offend others. :P

I do it all the time too. Self-deprecating humor is hilarious when done well. Conan O'Brien is quite good at it.

I'll jokingly make fun of myself from time to time but never really talk down of myself. That doesn't make any sense. :?

i think he's like that cuz ppl used to tease him for how he looks and stuff like that in school or in his family, the same thing happened to me too but finally they stopped but ever since then i keep thinking that way about myself maybe he is the same way dnt know.

Either because they are humble or have low self esteem. I like to think I fall on the former category.

Youre married to two girls simultanously, and there are no strings attached. You should keep your head high! =P

Some people have low self esteem and others just want to praised so it's a false putdown.
