Do people who constantly insult themselves annoy you?

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.
