Self-deprecating remarks and social signaling

Natural self-esteem is built into humanity; it's just being ourselves and embracing life.  Once we start to analyze ourselves, or become self-conscious about perceived flaws or worried about what others think about us, we lose touch with our connection with life and others.  Whether we think we're great, or fear we are awful, we live in insecurity.  We live in our head, not from our heart.  That doesn't mean we don't want to develop our knowledge, or take interest in staying fit or looking our best.  It simply means that we are born with all we need to be at ease with moment-to-moment life.
