Sometimes we are fearful to be humble, to say the truth about ourselves, or admit a mistake we've made or a decision we've taken out of fear (decisions taken out of fear are essentially and intrinsically dishonest because fear, being it based on a false conviction, is a dishonest state of mind - mostly a projection on the future based on past events or experiences - what is it more untrue/dishonest than this?).
Why are we so fearful to be humble, to make ourselves 'seen' from others? The reasons are multiples but all connected to an internal belief that if we become vulnerable, if we are honest expressing our feelings, our beliefs, our anger (this is a big one we want to hide at all costs) we will be disliked, rejected, judged, abandoned. It is exactly the contrary, the more true we are the more we are sure we are being loved from the people who likes us!
The more exercise we make to be honest by becoming vulnerable the more we become connected with our true self (which is our soul) the more we will see the opposite of being disliked, feeling rejected, judged or abandoned but we will see people being attracted to us in a way that is almost unbelievable, we will be reborn, we will be innocent like children with the wisdom of an adult and the heart as big as God.
The easier way to start this is to be honest with someone you do not know, it will be much easier to start the process, then you can enlarge this 'courageous act' to all the others, including the ones you love most.
Being humble is the most courageous thing we can do and it will take us spiritually in a state of grace we've never experienced before.
