How far are you willing to go to deliver the perfect comeback? Are you willing to shoot yourself in the foot for the sake of that sick burn?

The subreddit has 445,000 members and counting, and you may see why. If this is your brand of humor, enjoy scrolling through!

We may often blur the lines between humility and self-deprecation, which is why humor poking at oneself is typically widely accepted. However, it is essential to note the difference: the former still acknowledges self-worth, while the latter often leans towards putting yourself down.

It’s also important to consider the bleaker side of self-deprecation. An emotional intelligence test conducted by PsychTests revealed that 64% of people who engage in this kind of humor may also prioritize other people’s needs over their own, even if it leaves them resentful or uncomfortable.
Statistics also show that 66% would apologize even if they did nothing wrong, while 54% would not express their opinions if others disagreed. Then, there are the 70% who would spend hours ruminating about remarks others made about them and the 81% who would over-analyze situations.

Overdoing self-deprecation may damage one's self-esteem. As PsychTest president Dr. Ilona Jerabek explains, the disparaging words you tell yourself could become part of your identity.
“If you continue reinforcing this cognitive pattern rather than challenging it in your inner chatter, it will become entrenched in your belief system,” Dr. Jerabek explained.

But, of course, there is a time and a place for self-deprecation. It can help you reframe a difficult situation for a bit of levity. According to experts like psychosocial rehabilitation specialist Kendra Cherry, MSEd, knowing when to laugh at yourself is also a sign of healthy self-esteem.
“Instead of beating yourself up for the things you wish had gone differently, being able to laugh at them can help you view the past (and yourself) more positively,” Cherry wrote in an article for Very Well Mind.

Self-deprecation is also a way of recognizing our flaws. As Cherry notes, seeing your mistakes humorously allows you to explore them with self-compassion.
“This can help you better understand your own behaviors, motivations, and goals, making it easier to navigate life's challenges,” she notes.

Atleast The Bite Marks Are Straight
David 10 months ago (edited)
Actually, braces are not just for vanity. They help your bite and dental health. I never had braces, but during a lot of other dental work I did have my bite adjusted about 10 years ago because I chewed mostly on the left side of my mouth. I didn't realize I was doing it but my dentist could tell from the wear patterns and by checking it with imprints. Because I was used to it I didn't realize I had a problem, but after it was fixed my jaw / mouth is more comfortable. -=== Alternate bad joke answer - We Americans have braces because wen don't want to look British. /j (apologies to brits - I've read your dental health has improved)

There's all sorts of stuff in the sky, and even more since humans started putting more stuff there. There's enough stuff in the sky that light from a city can cause light pollution 50 miles away. Sort of a dumbass signal instead of a Bat signal, I guess.
What about you, dear readers? Are you a fan of self-deprecating humor? Do you engage in them? Does it do more harm than good to a person’s self-worth? Share your thoughts in the comments!

She Probably Don’t Even Know About What She Did

Yeah suuure, whoever wrote the title, women are probably too dumb to deliberately make a jokey self-own... Reminds me of the woman posting a picture of her car dashboard with pretty much all the warning signs on asking how she could collect them all and bros went wild in the comments telling her that this is bad and she needs to go to the garage 🤣

I'm pretty sure any sentient force behind the universe's formation would take one look at our planet, marvel briefly at how a bunch of hot water and rocks turned into such a mess, and go do something else with the vast amount of not-Earth out there instead. Just sayin'.

Self depreciating humor is almost as good as insulting your friends for fun. "We don't normally hire bad people, except for Joe." Everyone laughs, including Joe, because he knows how much we all value him.
