Modesty is a personality trait acquired as a result of internalization of behavioral patterns and values of others. It is reflected in the ability to keep one's own emotional and behavioral manifestations within certain limits, to maintain calmness, moderation and restraint, to make minimal demands on other people and one's material and household arrangements. Modesty changes the lifestyle of a person, providing for decency in communication, respect for decorum, leading a life without luxury.
It is believed that modesty adorns a person, presenting him without superfluous boasting, when a person’s virtues appear in actions, and rewards come without begging or demanding. Manifestations are possible in behavior through obedience to elders and humility in front of experienced ones, in clothes of inexpensive brands, discreet colors and models. Often modesty is used synonymously with shyness and timidity, but this is erroneous, even with similar manifestations, since modesty is a conscious act, choice, and other manifestations are unconscious and driven by subconscious or trauma.
What is modesty
The meaning of modesty is varied, and depending on the scope of the discussion, it will have its own adjustments, from the general ones there will remain undemanding and lack of desire to put oneself in the first place. In terms of arranging his life, he is characterized by a lack of desire for luxury and an understanding that insignificant resources are needed to feel comfortable. In terms of interpersonal interaction, modesty is characterized by a sincere interest in others, and more than in himself, such a person asks and listens more than talks and boasts. In addition, during communication, the dignity of all people is recognized, the rules accepted in society are manifested and observed.
Modesty is considered a character trait that allows a person to conform to the environment without being attracted to too much attention, which, in principle, considers drawing attention to one's own person (by action or word, clothing or purchase) as unworthy behavior.
In many sets of rules (etiquette, decent social behavior, approved by the church) says that modesty adorns a person and is the most valuable trait that gives opportunities for and vision of others to learn from them, contributes to the development of kindness and, as a result, the establishment of good relationships. But modesty may not always provide positive influence in a society where some people live according to other laws, self-interest and cunning, using the modesty of others for their own benefit.
Modesty is not a character trait or, it manifests itself in behavior and reflects it certain line, and the motives for such behavior may also be different. A modest person can be from nobility or from the fact that he sincerely does not consider his merits to be outstanding, or maybe from or inability to present himself hiding behind a mask of modesty, waiting for others to present him. Many, knowing how much others value humble displays, can act only partially in the presence of the necessary person, whom they have to impress, while the rest of the time be brazen and loose. This is not true modesty, just as kindness pursuing its own selfish goals is not true kindness.
Modesty vs Shyness - What's the difference?
Modesty and shyness are often confused, and some consider these concepts to be synonymous, while being deeply mistaken. Modesty is responsible for a conscious line of behavior, and shyness refers to emotional experiences that are not subject to control. A person can be modest and not shy, as well as being shy but not modest - the two do not go together and are not interchangeable. If, while leading a modest lifestyle, a person does not show his goodness and achievements out of unwillingness, including the conscious sphere, then in case of embarrassment this will be caused by fear (to attract attention, not withstand criticism, etc.).
Shyness arises from uncertainty and such a person is more likely to remain silent and listen carefully to the interlocutor in order to correct his statements in accordance with someone else's point of view.
Modesty is always confident and a modest person listens to another out of sincere interest, and changes his mind only after the facts, and not out of a desire to please. A modest person remains open in interaction, although he does not put his personality in priority, shyness can cause a person to avoid social contacts and new experience. The first is about development and constant learning from the outside world, the second is about the fear of the new and closed doors opportunities.
Modesty can be learned or unlearned, its level and spheres of manifestation can be controlled, while shyness is a character trait and such changes will require a much deeper inner work than adjusting the line of conduct. In order for a person to begin to be shy or stop, a series of corrective events are needed, either frustrating and traumatic, forcing them to hide, or corrective and stabilizing, helping to begin to actively manifest themselves in the external environment.
Disadvantages of modesty
In many places, modesty is presented in a favorable light and as one of the most desirable qualities, but, as in any concept, there are shortcomings and difficulties that sometimes interfere with a person.
Consider who praises modesty as positive trait- usually these are people who benefit from your obedience (parents, teachers, church), those who themselves do not perceive the differences of others and strive to create a gray society that does not stand out. Once upon a time, such a strategy of behavior helped to survive, because even in the days of socialist power (and this generation of our grandmothers) it was dangerous to stand out, and all the benefits and skills were hidden, because they could entail punishments incompatible with life.
But modesty does not contribute to one's own promotion and realization - look at everyone famous people, read their biographies - they all loudly declared themselves and their skills, at every corner, until, finally, they were heard, and when they became noticeable, they grabbed the opportunity that presented itself, but modestly refused. Excessive modesty ruins a career, while such a person helps others, is silent about his successes, a less effective and less modest employee receives another raise and an increase in salary. Their projects are recognized as the best simply on the basis that often no one knows about the ideas of modest people or they learn from immodest friends who shout about the presence of a brilliant idea from their acquaintance.
How to get rid of modesty
Having analyzed own life you may encounter that it is precisely the negative aspects of the manifestation of modesty that are the majority, and then the question of how to get rid of it becomes relevant, but it will be more natural not to completely eradicate, but to reduce the number of manifestations or identify the most suffering areas and work with them. The influence reduction approach is less traumatic for the psyche, since with a complete and drastic restructuring there is big chance quickly return to the previous state. It is best to initially get to the bottom of the causes of excessive modesty, to understand whose words sunk into the soul from early childhood and correlate these requirements of behavior with the current situation in life. If grandma spoke of modesty as best line girls to get married, and you have developed her in communicating with men to such an extent that you have become an invisible or cold wall, then think about whether your grandmother meant this level and whether the requirements for men now are the same as then.
Try to express yourself more often, express your opinion - even if you make a mistake, everyone will disagree with you, you will have to defend your position for a long time, speak anyway. You can try talking to strangers, and if you know that you always give up the leading role in a conversation, then specially start communication first. The fear of losing people's favor is easily leveled by your smile and a direct statement that you are pleased to communicate or it is interesting to hear a different opinion from yours. Just as in communication, try to show exactly your own - in clothes and choosing places, listening to music and emotional reactions. There is no crime in going out in a short skirt or a yellow scarf, laughing at an important meeting or rejoicing loudly in quiet place- perhaps by your example you will liberate a few more people nearby, and thanks to the manifestation of your individuality, they will pay attention to you. And here's what's important - those who are interested, such as you, real, and not feigned, will pay attention, which can open up new opportunities.
In yourself, with small overcomings every day - you don’t need to immediately climb onto the stage and tell the audience of many hundreds what you are wonderful person, but here to be the first to meet a few people, tell at work what you came up with new project, tell random acquaintances at a party about your occupation and about yourself as an excellent professional - those things, the practice of which every day will help overcome both excessive modesty and problems associated with your invisibility.
Often modesty is mistaken for weakness and indecisiveness, but when experience proves to people that they were mistaken, then modesty gives new charm, strength and respect to character.
He who searches deeply into his soul so often catches himself in error,
which inevitably becomes modest. He is no longer proud of his
enlightenment, he does not consider himself superior to others.
Almost always, modesty is directly proportional to talent.
Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guardian of virtue.
Modesty as a personality trait - a tendency to show a lack of desire for honors .

Speak louder! - Well, in general, Polina, Rosa, Elena, Zina, Evdokia, Ruslana, Valya, Aksinya, Tonya, Ira, Vera. Pharmacist with surprise: - And where are you with one condom for such a crowd?

A person sometimes cannot evade honors, but this in no way speaks of his indiscretion. Maria Skłodowska-Curie the first ever winner twice Nobel Prize. In 1910, she succeeded in isolating pure metallic radium. Thus, a 12-year cycle of life-threatening hard labor was completed. Out of modesty, she did not even patent the results of her research. Maria argued: “Radium should not enrich anyone. This element belongs to the whole world.” During the First World War, Maria headed the radiological service of the Red Cross Society and herself went to front-line hospitals. She learned to drive a car, and, if necessary, became an auto mechanic. In her youth, she courageously endured the cold of the attic, then in a barn unsuitable for a laboratory, she carried out laborious experiments, and during the First World War, with her calmness and modesty, she turned into a soldier. She was revered by the whole world, but she never had a desire for honors and glory.
What does indiscretion look like, that is, a person striving for honors? He focuses attention on himself, behaves in a mannered manner, speaks loudly, with pathos and commanding notes in his voice, is brightly dressed, shows envy, etc. Immodesty as a manifestation of pride constantly enters into antagonism with others, and this leads to suffering and pain. When a person does not speak sincerely, with pathos, people consciously or unconsciously oppose his indiscretion. The risk of conflict increases, and that means pain and suffering. The ego of indiscretion clashes with the mass ego of others.
Unlike indiscretion, modesty is always in a state of peace, that is, its mind is calm. Peace is peace of mind, that is, the mind of a peaceful person is not excited by his ego, he is constantly at rest. A modest person, first of all, peaceful person . Not quiet, but peaceful. A quiet person can be far from modest: there are devils in a still pool.
An indiscreet person, having lost his “candy” of honors, is envious. Indiscretion without honors grimaces and comes from envy. Modesty behaves calmly, unpretentiously, always does his duty well, with and without honors. Indiscretion, if it is beckoned with honors, will fulfill its duties, it will not even enter its head to fulfill its duty disinterestedly. Lack of modesty is burning desire honors. Indiscretion is not stable, without remuneration, privileges and honors, it is inoperable. In other words, a lot of problems arise with an immodest person: he does not work stably, conflicts with people, he is not respected. If the team was healthy, then with the advent of indiscretion, envy will corrode it.
Humility is a personality trait that manifests itself about yourself, not about other people . It is different from humility. Humility means victory over anger, a person perceives all incoming information humbly, scold or praise him - he will react equally humbly. Humility - top quality a saintly person, it automatically implies modesty. Humility doesn't have to be humble. If modesty is scolded, insulted, brought to a "white heat", it can not stand it and burst into anger. She is indifferent to glorifications, honors, gifts, but when they insult her human dignity, she, too, can "stand on its hind legs." In other words, humility is the absence of anger, and modesty is the absence of a desire for honor. Humility is a necessary step towards humility.
Humility versus indiscretion able to listen, perceive new . Indiscretion is not able to listen. Active listening presupposes humility. This personality trait is the opposite of pride, so indiscretion cannot claim it. For example, a young provincial came to Moscow to conquer scientific world. His main motivation is, for example, obtaining scientific titles and degrees, achieving material well-being, honor and glory. Science for him is not a goal, but a means of enrichment. Angry and hungry, he furiously gnaws at the granite of science. Gradually, having accumulated knowledge, he "settles down" - he becomes a candidate, then a doctor of sciences. With the tail of years, pride, that he knows more than others, grows, his egoism is activated. Gradually, the ego of a person gets close to the mind, and he begins to feel all-knowing, the most intelligent and irreplaceable. This means that modesty is lost, the ability to further develop, improve, progress is lost. When he was humble, he could listen to other people, learn from them. That's when he was happy. But since the motives of his knowledge were exclusively selfish and had the most distant relation to the knowledge of the truth, he himself "cut off his oxygen." Leaving on the baggage of past merits, he puffs up in front of everyone, trying to confirm his importance. Even his "home" he gets his selfishness. An annoyed wife tells him: “You can play a genius in front of students, but in the family behave naturally. March to take out the garbage until you get hit on a stupid bald head. In other words, a person who has lost modesty suffers a fiasco in life.
An example of modesty and at the same time a true scientist was Michael Faraday. He never aspired to wealth or honors, but for his services he was elected an honorary member of more than seventy scientific societies and academies. His work marked the beginning new era in physics, and he did not take a patent for his inventions, repeatedly refusing profitable positions that promised him fabulous incomes. He also refused the nobility, saying at the same time: "Thank you, but I want to be called simply - Michael Faraday."
When a person's mind is polluted by egoism, he is unable to convey his thoughts and knowledge to other people. As said great director K. S. Stanislavsky: “I don’t believe!” When a person is proud, he cannot explain anything to people. He is not understood. Paradox, there is a lot of knowledge, but no sense. Modesty is humble, it adds nothing of itself to the learned truth. If she did scientific discovery- it will be an "added value" to the previous knowledge. The knowledge of modesty will be assimilated by people, for it comes from a pure unselfish mind. Modesty knows how to explain, because she is not nervous when a person does not understand, but continues to patiently state her point of view in a friendly manner.
A true scientist is modest and devoid of pride, he does not need honors and glory. For example, Pierre Curie and Marie Curie, when it came to them world recognition, and did not think to enjoy fame, they were more worried that the provision of the laboratory by the state was delayed from year to year due to lack of money and bureaucratic delays. When the dean of the faculty natural sciences told Pierre that he wanted to introduce him to the order, the scientist replied: “Please, be kind enough to tell the minister that I have no need for the order, but I really need a laboratory.” And when in 1903 the Curies received a gold medal from the Royal Society, they gave it to their little daughter as a toy. Scientists have not even patented their method of obtaining radium, believing that such a commercial approach to discovery is contrary to the spirit of science.
The ability of humility to listen and hear the other person is extremely important for relationships. If the spouses listen to each other's opinion, then the family is a single whole, which means that it is based on mutual respect. The egoist does not listen to anyone, and no one wants to listen to him. And how important it is for a politician to listen to other people's opinions, to understand and accept the point of view of their advisers.
The test of modesty is praise. Indiscretion, waiting for honors, blurs from praise, stands on a pedestal, bronzes before our eyes. She is not able to hide her reaction to praise, because she so wanted to amuse her pride. A flatterer will always find a corner in the soul of indiscretion. Modesty, on the contrary, is indifferent to praise.
If the vast majority of composers in their lives passionately sought fame, then Debussy - on the contrary. He had never been to the productions of his own operas in his life and rejected the fame that came to him at the end of his life. Well, about his music, he always modestly said: “If God did not love my music, I would not write it ...”
Humility is the opposite of arrogance. Have you ever heard of a modest insolent or impudent modesty? Of course not, because these are two different poles. These two qualities form the scale "Modesty - Insolence", on which a person is at a specific point. When modesty becomes the manifested side of the personality, we consider such a person modest. Humility is undoubtedly a quality of a saintly person. A common person- This is a fraction, in the numerator of which is modesty, and in the denominator - arrogance. Anatole France said: "Everything must be done in moderation, even in modesty." People heeded his advice, reducing the numerator to a minimum. To modesty man goes Consistently: “I am an immodest person. I'm probably a humble person. I am a very humble person. I am undoubtedly the humblest person. I ordinary person". Giuseppe Verdi once said: “When I was eighteen years old, I considered myself great and said:“ I am. When I was twenty-five years old, I began to say: "Me and Mozart."
When I turned forty, I said: "Mozart and me." Now I say: "Mozart". This is the way we go to modesty.
Real, not ostentatious modesty attracts wisdom . For example, a modest girl wants to get married. She will not dress flashy and behave arrogantly. She needs a responsible, reasonable guy who needs not an impudent painted doll, but a modest wife. Like attracts like. An impudent girl will attract the attention of men who are interested in her body, and not inner world. Anyone who is interested in her mind is man of sense, and the one who was attracted only by her body - we will not give him an exact definition, and so it is clear. The price of such a marriage is a ruble per bundle on a market day. If a girl defiantly refuses attention (honor) to herself from the other sex, is this modesty or not? No. If she gladly accepts attention, is it modesty or not? Also no. If she does not pay attention to male views, is this modesty or not? Yes, this is modesty, it manifests itself inside a person, and not from outside. Modesty within oneself is inner purity and the ability to preserve and protect this purity. Modesty is the most powerful weapon women.
Between reasonableness and modesty there is directly proportional dependence . The mind of a modest person is not burdened with pride, so he sees the objects of the outside world without prejudice and selfishness. Indiscretion has a "dirty" mind. Her ambitious ego turns true knowledge into false, seasoning them with a fair amount of selfishness. The mind of indiscretion is in ignorance, it is completely subject to the whims of an inflated ego.
Modesty not inclined to find flaws in other people . This is the fundamental property of this quality. Modesty justifies a person by thinking: “This is good man". If the flaw is on the surface, modesty says: “It's okay. Little nothings of life. I won’t leave you anyway, because you are good.” Why is this happening? From the fact that modesty has no envy of this person. One can envy the position of another person, the fact that he does not honor me. Envy causes irritation and anger at another person, forcing them to speak about him in black tones. If another person does not honor me, immodesty begins to condemn him, to gossip. She wants respect, but she is not respected. Then she begins to look for flaws in another person. In a word, envy is a sign of lack of modesty.
Modesty lives in harmony with its desires and capabilities, it not pretentious and reserved . She is disgusted by excesses, luxury and pernicious desire. Modesty, going into the store, will buy only what he planned. You can't distract her with any kind of bait. Indiscretion, full of lust, will buy both what is needed and what is not needed. Therefore, modesty will reach the material goal faster than indiscretion.
The external goal is achieved through the realization of the internal goal. What does it mean? Inner goal means to educate in oneself good qualities personality and then external goals are realized automatically. For example, a husband wants his wife and children to respect him. This is an external target. To force oneself to be respected, to give gifts, to reproach - all these are hopeless ways. In "Eugene Onegin" the uncle "forced to respect himself and could not invent better." In our times, they would say “gave oak”, “played in the box”, “glued flippers” or “thrown skates”. It is clear that this option does not suit him either. If he sets an internal goal - to become a responsible person and strives for this goal, the result will not be long in coming. Women respect responsibility in a man. Feeling the changes in the behavior of the father and husband, his relatives will change their attitude towards him for the better.
Modesty does not cultivate in itself the desire to master something as quickly as possible. material world. Her motto is everything has its time. The unpretentiousness of modesty means to respect the passage of time. She knows that she will have everything in time. “You don’t have to jump out of your pants, so you won’t achieve your goal, I will get everything I deserve,” modesty is sure. Do your job well out of a sense of duty, and the result will come. Therefore, modesty is appeased. She realizes that she needs external purchases as a means to an end. If they are in this moment she can’t afford it, which means she has a different goal. Calmly perceiving this givenness, modesty, at the same time, realizes that she has a different purpose, God has other plans for her. She understands that she has a different happiness, it does not need to be anticipated, it comes from within, not from outside. It does not attach excessive importance to the objects of the external world, so its goals are achieved easily and simply. Indiscretion, striving for the fulfillment of his desires, will spend all his nervous resources, get a heart attack ten times, ruin relations with loved ones, but he will not achieve his goal. Greed hastens indiscretion: “What is the right time for everything? Get it fast."
Modesty is sincerely interested in others, respects the norms of morality and morality accepted in society. It gives freedom from vanity, provides an opportunity to learn from others, adopting their virtues.
For a modest person, one more thing is characteristic positive quality- He not intrusive in communication . If he sees that someone, communicating with him, is not satisfied, he will try to get away from contact. Modesty does not disturb other people by their behavior. Modesty should not be confused with being downtrodden and soft-bodied. On modesty “you won’t ride”, “you won’t sit on her head”. Humility is first and foremost developed sense own dignity. Downtroddenness arises from the fear of losing a husband, a job, that others will treat her badly. Modesty cannot be picked up for anything, you can’t sit on her neck, she has her own goal and therefore she can always politely refuse. She will not do anything that disrupts her movement towards her goal. In achieving the goal, modesty shows self-esteem.
Petr Kovalev 2013
You can often hear the phrase: "You have to be humble" or "Modesty adorns a man". What do they mean? What is modesty? Modesty Is this an advantage or a disadvantage? Being humble is a necessity or a choice? Before answering all these questions, let's deal with the question: "What is modesty?".
There is no one exact definition this word. Modesty- this is a character trait, a set of personal qualities of a person, which are expressed in moderation: in the requirements for people around and for life; to luxury and wealth; to vanity; to arrogance, while maintaining human dignity and the rules of decency.
When answering the following questions, consider individual characteristics character of each individual. Living and growing up in society, people do not become similar friend on each other, in each person characteristic habits, traits inherent only to him are preserved.
Is modesty an asset or a disadvantage?
In society as a whole and in each individual community, certain rules are usually established. Can a person who observes all these rules be considered modest? IN in a certain sense- Can. But what about the manifestation of leadership qualities inherent in the very nature of this person? There is an opinion that for leaders modesty is more a disadvantage than a virtue. For "leaders in life" it is just necessary to be very attentive to yourself, the manifestation of leadership qualities should in no way turn into arrogance, arrogance, arrogance and vanity. By showing himself as a leader, a person can cross the line that separates self-righteousness from arrogance, arrogance and arrogance. In communication between people, it is necessary to be extremely correct in order not to offend, voluntarily or not, to humiliate the dignity of another person. And how nice it is to communicate with a person who does not flaunt his knowledge, his superiority over others. Such a person can be called polite, courteous, well-mannered, and modesty "goes hand in hand" with all these qualities.Thus, we can conclude that modesty is rather a virtue for all people. To be a leader and yet to be humble is life position people who, above all, respect themselves. No self-respecting person will allow himself and others to humiliate anyone.
Are modesty and shyness the same thing?
With definition "modesty" we have decided, but quiet, inconspicuous people can also be called modest? They say about these: "He wouldn't hurt a fly". Maybe it's innate modesty? Or is it from self-doubt? Most likely the second. This behavior is called shyness. How do these two concepts differ from one another?Shyness is manifested from self-doubt, a person is afraid to express his point of view, afraid of being wrong, afraid of being ridiculed by others. Shyness has nothing to do with modesty.
A modest person is confident in himself, knows about his strengths and weaknesses. Education will not allow him to loudly declare, demonstrate his knowledge, compare himself with others. Therefore, a shy person, in order to become modest, needs to cultivate self-confidence, self-esteem, get rid of an inferiority complex.
