This is a difficult topic to discuss properly, somewhat, for me at least. Humbleness is not talked about by the humble, and those who understand it simply are.

The flipside of humbleness is impressing others. Those who are truly impressive to others, don't have any issues with it. They don't need validation of any form of it. So, they can freely express their impressiveness only when necessary or for egoless joy, but never for the sake of pride.

Those who are humble are impressive, and vice versa.

FOCUS: How do you think one improves their own humblesness/impressiveness?

To me, one layer of humbleness is as simple as simply understanding that I am ignorant. A conscious form of ignorance.
