Society & Culture
Nobody likes an arrogant brag, and humility is an important trait. That's why we make jokes about ourselves and don't like to brag, and respond to compliments with surprise and negation. But what happens when humility is humiliation and self deprecation becomes the way you punish yourself for not conforming to society's (idiotic) requirements? Pallavi and Ameya talk about their experiences with self-deprecation in this episode, and how damaging and dangerous it can be. It's not all rage though, there's science and giggles and how they have found ways to cope.
