Nobody likes that one person who is overly confident but says they are just being "humble." There's a difference and we need more humble people in the world.
Here are nine ways to be humble from a college student perspective:
1. The definition of humble is: Having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance.
2. The definition of overly confident is: Unreasonably confident.
3. There's a difference (being humble is more modest).
4. Don't show everything off.
5. Love what you do, but don't tell everyone about it 24/7.
6. Love more than one thing.
Loving and having a passion about multiple things often means that you are a well rounded and humble person.
7. Give others some credit.
There has to be at least one person who brought you to where you are or were.
8. Know the line.
This sounds sillier than it is. Know the line where you need to not be all about yourself. Be it as simple as saying hello and talking to someone about their day or charity work.
9. First impressions are everything.
If someone thinks you are overly confident, they may not like you as much simply because of that fact.
