I have often been told I have too much humility, which can lead to a host of problems such as low self esteem, missed opptys, etc. I am working on it, believe me. However, being Canadian, I am a bit conservative and don't always do a good job at expressing my "true" feelings, thus my sense of privacy, even during times when I could really use some support. My mother had an especially, "stiff upper lip." Old habits die hard.
