Are you modest? What does modesty mean for you?
446863
I am modest, though I assume my protestant standard is different than an Islamic standard\n\nI dress so as to look proper, reasonable neck lines, skirts below the knee, no midriff, no suggestive tattoos or piercings\n\nI do not flirt, I am not forward with men, I do not discuss bodies or issues surrounding them if it might cause lust, I guard my tounge\n\nIn a dating situation I will not engage in any PDAs, in fact, I try to limit my kissing to 'bird pecks' (never on the first date!) and I try to stay in public places\n\nI know this sounds ultra conservative, maybe it is, it's a product of my upbringing and my personal convictions\n\nBTW, I don't hold men to any different standards, I would appreciate not seeing any more topless men or Visible boxers, and I am really sick of loud lewd conversations

The more comfortable your woman is w/ you the more apt she will be to try new things.  I used to be very modest in the bedroom until I met my boyfriend. Women tend to be modest b/c they are afraid of what men will think.  Chances are...you girlfriend does want to try new things.  But it is your job to make her feel at ease. Also talk about it.  How will your woman ever know if you dont tell her what you want.  We are not mind readers :)

To answer this question would mean to stereotype... It's best not to judge people before knowing them.  I think that you are putting yourself in danger by dropping your guard agaisnt certain people when the fact of the matter is that on an indivual level we are all capable of acting and behaving in similar ways.\n\nGreat question though!  Really gets ya' thinking

God says come as you are. That doesn't mean wear your worst if you have better wear it but if you don't have it wear what you have.

It means being able to live in a meling pot society, and accepting others religions and cultures without being judgemental. Maybe even taking some of their beliefs and seeing how they fit into your life.

Conceited people thank that they are better than others not that they have more confidence ( they just see you as if you are beneath them that is why they appear to have confidence)  Self confidence means that you are who you are and know exactly what you can or can not do. Self confidence does not mean you are full of your self. WITH  self confidence you can walk the walk and talk the talk.  SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION I WOULD HAVE TO DISAGREE.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”\n\n...at the least, I hope so.

I would say you're a cross between a preppie and a goody-goody.\n\nMe?  I'm the outcast of the outcasts.

I was shy when I was young hid behind my mommys leg if anyone looked at me. When I hit 7th grade it was like overnight I wasn't shy no more and wasn't embarrassed to do things. I am not sure why. They way I see it enjoy life and if someone don't like the way you are and what you say that is their problem as long as you are being nice and kind. Try humor... Just don't worry about what other people thinks.

Yes Scarlet that's what it means.. one variable. Keep up the good work!\n\nAnd to Bibs...your answer was just plain rude... isn't this the whole point of yahoo answers - to get help.. and not be put down? Very poor form!\n\nResponse to Bibs: \nWell, wallowing in your own self pity isn't helping any. You shouldn't criticise others just because they are more fortunate than you. \n\nScarlet obviously already did his/her homework / research and found the answer - he/she just wasn't sure and needed clarification. Don't go shaking your finger at the youth of today - when you yourself are forgetting a very important rule... "If you don't have anything nice to say.. Don't say anything at all". \n\nScarlet: I'm sorry for this silly debate arising when you wanted simply to confirm an answer. Just take this as a lesson in life - there are a lot of nasty people out there.. take them with a grain of salt :)

I believe it means that in order to become who we truly are we should take an honest look at ourselves, are we saying and doing the things that we really want? or are we just going along with everyone else? Being ourselves means being true to our own desires, regardless of what others think, in a sense recapturing the childlike innocence and spontaneity that we had before.

We're human, we are bound to hide in some way.  Either to hide our personality flaws or to hide physical deformity of some sort.  Does anyone know everything in our heart?  Some overcompensate and are boistrous and loud to hide insecurities, some are indifferent and unresponsive because they shut themselve out from the world so they don't get hurt.  Some seem real but are really a shell.  People are meant to adapt.  We change depending on who we are with, where we are, and how comfortable we feel. Everyone wears a mask, even the one who answer these questions.

my personal interpretation of the two words based on how i've seen/heard them used:\n\nhumbleness (humility) represents a simpleness of mind and spirit.  braggadocio (word? it SHOULD be!) is non-existent and it would never cross a humble person's mind to have anything to brag 'about'.  the opposite of humble might be 'pretentious', what do you think?\n\nto me, modesty seems to portray more of a quiet confidence in one's abilities.  perhaps a tad bit more sophisticated than a 'humble' person, but equally uncomfortable in talking oneself up... quite the opposite, i feel that modesty is a way of 'talking oneself down'.\n\nto me modesty is more a behavioral trait (something you DO), while humbleness is a personality trait (something you ARE).  it's a blurry line and a thought-provoking one!
