For me, at least, I used to kind of put myself down when talking about my work but it was more of a false modesty thing instead of actually thinking my work sucks. I do actually think I'm hot shit, but I'm also terrified of being accused of being arrogant.

I'm sure most of you aren't like this and put yourself down because you actually don't think you're good enough, in which case plz listen to OP.

But if you're like me, then let me just say: if someone accuses you of being arrogant, own it. There's literally nothing wrong with being arrogant as long as you're not putting other people down in the process, and it's dumb that society stigmatizes it so much. Even if you're overestimating yourself, who cares? You're not hurting anyone, except possibly yourself a little bit if you notice your actual skill level and feel disappointed. Think and feel however you want, and screw anyone who tries to shame you for it :]
