Shyness is beautiful

"Although too much modesty can eat away at self-esteem, a healthy dose is considered an attractive trait by many.

At the same time, you need to be careful not to cross the line from modesty to self-deprecation. Here are five tips to make modesty work for you:

Accept compliments graciously
Recognize when you've achieved something important rather than downplaying these things as due to "luck"
Stand up for yourself if you feel you are being taken advantage of (read up on being assertive)
Offer praise to others (this might feel strange at first, as though you don't have the "right" to decide what is good or bad
Be realistic rather than thinking things are all good or all bad."
