 Self-Attribution Strangeness: Self-predications of modesty and humility are, at least in general, self-undermining. This is highlighted by Sorensen (1988, 120ff) and Driver (1989, 375) who note that the sentence “I am modest” is a distinctly immodest thing to say. Though Raterman (2006, 232) and Bommarito (2013, 113) describe contexts in which saying “I am modest” is not self-undermining, self-ascriptions of modesty are, in general, self-undermining. It is important to note that this need not be about public utterances; a person seems less modest for thinking about how modest they are. Bernard Williams, for example, writes that “… it is a notorious truth that a modest person does not act under the title of modesty” (1993, 10). That is, a modest person does not think of themselves as acting modestly, while a just person typically does think of themselves as acting justly.
