Excellent post. Stemming off number 4, watching people using self deprecation as a defense mechanism is cringe worthy. I think most are guilty of doing it every now and then (I know I am ) but will call myself out on it, and try to prevent it from happening again. Avoiding self deprecation can help with your self confidence and places you in higher regard with the people you interact.
I don't know what you mean about self depreciation as a defence mechanism, could you explain?
Do you mean men who just default to apology in the face of criticism?
