What it Means to be a Modest Person: The mindset behind it.

 

Introduction

Modesty is not a style choice or a way of doing things. It's a way of looking at the world through the lens of kindness and empathy, rather than competition and comparison. If you're not familiar with modesty, here are five reasons why you should be:

It's not about being arrogant.

Modesty is not about being arrogant. It's about being humble, real, and not putting yourself above others. Suppose you're confident in your own abilities. In that case, modesty isn't necessary—but if you feel like there are things that can make up for your shortcomings (and this may be true), then modesty can help keep those flaws from affecting others negatively.

Modesty is also an act of kindness toward yourself and others; it shows respect for the humanity around us by showing respect for ourselves as well as other people's dignity and worthiness of love and belonging. Modesty teaches us how important it is to treat our bodies with care so we don't harm ourselves or damage the environment around us while using them: they're part of who we are!

Genuine modesty is more than a clothing choice.

It's a mindset, not just about what you wear. If you're going to be modest, you have to have the right attitude and approach life with humility and empathy, making this an easy virtue to practice in everyday life.

Modesty isn't just about what you do; it's also about how much space between yourself and others around you when they're talking or moving around close enough where they could touch you (even if they don't mean anything by doing so). This means that if someone comes up behind me while I'm speaking with my friend at a party or meeting of some kind (and no one else is around), then I'm likely going to say something like "excuse me" or "I need some air." That may sound obvious now but sometimes we forget ourselves!

Modesty is also about being honest with ourselves—not only when it comes time for mirrors but also when we're talking among ourselves in small groups as well as larger ones such as churches or temples where there aren't many people present besides ourselves but still want everyone else involved during conversations to feel comfortable doing so too!

Modesty means being honest with yourself.

Modesty is about being true to yourself, not pretending to be something you’re not, or trying to please others. And modesty doesn't just mean that we should keep our clothes on—it also means living life in spite of our flaws, rather than hiding them away from view so they don't bother anyone else.

Modesty isn't just about covering up; it's about embracing who we are and recognizing our strengths as well as weaknesses (and accepting them). It's about learning how to accept ourselves for who we are: 

• comfortable in one outfit but excited about another one;
•  confident enough in front of an audience yet unsure if something will look good on TV;
•  proud of what God has given us but insecure when it comes down to buying new clothes or getting ready for an event...

Modesty isn't about avoiding compliments.

It's about accepting them gracefully and being proud of your achievements.

Modest people are confident in their abilities, but they don't have a need to flaunt their successes or brag about how great they are at something—even if it's something as simple as cooking dinner for their family on a regular basis (or even just making sure everyone has enough food). They know that everyone has different talents and skills, so there's no point in comparing yourself with others or trying to compete with them for recognition or praise. You're supposed to be thankful for what you've accomplished, whether it's baking cookies or painting a portrait; if someone compliments your work on one thing like this then they'll be able to recognize the quality of your work overall when they see other pieces too!

Modesty doesn't mean hiding your achievements.

If you're proud of something and you feel like sharing it in public, go for it! You don't have to worry about what other people think—they'll be impressed by your honesty and open-mindedness.

Modesty is a form of self-respect.

Self-respect is important because it helps us to be kind to others, and also because it enables us to respect ourselves. In this way, modesty can help you develop a healthy sense of self-esteem and an understanding that your worth lies in who you are rather than what others think of you.

Modesty isn't about being arrogant or conceited; it's about knowing that there are certain things that only matter when they're shared with someone else (or at least something like them). By practicing modesty, we start to see ourselves as more than just our own selves—but rather as someone who has something valuable to offer the world around them as well!

Being modest is a way of looking at the world through the lens of kindness and empathy, rather than competition and comparison.

It's about being honest with yourself and with others while avoiding self-judgment. In other words: Modesty is simply a way of treating yourself with respect—a way of seeing yourself as worthy of love and attention without needing others' approval for that worthiness to exist in their eyes at all times.

Conclusion

As you can see, there’s no need to be shy about being modest. Being modest is a good thing, and it can help you connect with others and make the world a better place for everyone. If you have any more questions about modesty or how it relates to other areas of your life (like work), don’t hesitate to reach out! And remember: even if modesty feels uncomfortable at first—like wearing old clothes around people who might think they’re cool—remember that there are plenty of ways to practice this virtue in everyday life.
