Self-deprecation is the kind of humour I am most fond of. I use it because I would much rather make fun of myself than to possibly offend someone else. This is why I do it so often. The problem with this is that when you do it as often as I do, people seem to read it the wrong way. If I make fun of myself, I must hate myself.
I don't. I swear.
To me, self-deprecation is about knowing yourself. No one knows me better than I do. I know my limitations, my strengths and weaknesses, my fears, my everythings. So when I make jokes about how I don't go out or talk to people it is not because I HATE MYSELF, it is because I KNOW MYSELF. I know that I don't go out and that I don't talk to people. I'm not sad about it. I think it is FUNNY. And it's okay for you to laugh about it too.
I make jokes about myself because I know I can take it. I think I'm HILARIOUS, so why wouldn't I share that with the world?
Haha, I'm totally arrogant.
SEE WHAT I DID THERE?

I totally see what you did there. That's good stuff, that is.
Also, greetings from the void. I'll go back to my hole now.
Plus, making fun of yourself makes it much easier to make fun of other people. Win win.
