Too much humility is pride. True or false?

SW-User
It's quite the opposite of pride. People who are proud usually have a high view of their abilities. Pride fuels ego, humility keeps it at bay.

I don't think so unless they wear it like a badge.

@SweetMae LOL, yes that's true. That means they are faking it just to be noticed.

Humility = Humble, basically. Opposite of pride
@Lostpoet But perhaps some have too much?

@JustLikeGreta I thought humility was the opposite of pride. Too much of the opposite doesn't make it the same.
@Lostpoet It is of course the opposite. But some may use it as a way of gaining opportunity.

Definitely true. People who refuse to admit their own privilege, talents, or advantages are no different to the prideful.

victim mentality is as bad as entitlement.

Hypertrophy may make something to become it´s opposite.

Not because of the "excess", but cos take it out of their needed conditional relationships with it´s "what about", that make them to be meaningful.
If it is overblown & thus obviously meant to draw attention, rather than the real object of humility (akin to the person who prays loudly and thus is doing it for show to other people, not to God [NT ref]).

It is if it is false humility! We suffer from the Human condition!
