Do people who constantly insult themselves annoy you?

Maybe you should lay off the pie and cake for a while? I know it's not easy, but the way you look right now... it's just not good, you know? I'm so glad you finally noticed."

It's really fun to watch her get offended.

Brilliant although I don't think I can pull it off.

It doesn't bother me when my friends who actually are overweight make jokes about it or talk about occasionally.

But when thin people or people who are thinnest in the conversation complain/insult themselves the most, it makes me think they are self-absorbed idiots. Am I supposed have noticed or care that you need to lose 3 pounds? I haven't and don't.

But generally, I like people who have a good sense of humor about themselves and a little self deprecation on occasion goes a long way towards showing that you have some self awareness and humor.

I think if someone makes the occasional self-depracating joke, it's ok. But I think it's super-annoying when someone is a Debbie Downer...always putting themselves down, always pessimistic.

This is the way I feel. Joking and accepting your flaws is okay with me, if they really are true flaws.

But I also agree that people who do it only for attention are annoying.
