Another vein of humility that I'd like people to touch on is this:
How comfortable would you feel deferring or submitting yourself to someone even though you have absolutely no reason to? You and the other person are equal in intelligence, ability, and rank but you humble yourself to them, or rather take on the 'lesser' role. The person isn't trying to take advantage of you or be malicious towards you, but you choose that to be your role in this particular relationship. How would you feel about this dynamic?
I guess I'll ask if you think you're a humble person, but my inner cynic tells me this is like asking if someone thinks they're a good person. Everyone thinks they are but uh...

- Freedom from pride or arrogance.
- Modest or meek in spirit, manner or appearance, not proud
- someone who does not think that he or she is better or more important than others
