Self-humiliating refers to behaviors or actions that belittle or degrade a person's self-esteem. When we describe such behavior, we could use a range of synonyms, including self-deprecating, self-reproachful, self-denigrating, self-criticizing, and self-disparaging. Each of these terms describes a specific aspect of self-humiliation. Self-deprecating can refer to comments or attitudes that minimize one's abilities or achievements, while self-disparaging describes speaking ill of oneself. Self-reproachful suggests that a person is actively blaming themselves for something, and self-denigrating describes a broader range of negative self-talk. Using these synonyms, we can more effectively describe how a person is behaving towards themselves and potentially identify ways to overcome such behavior and build self-esteem.
