First of all, humility is not humiliation. Humility is not low self esteem. Humility is not declaring ourselves to be unattractive and incompetent and useless and worthless. I like this description of humility by pastor and author John Dixon. Humility is the noble choice to forego your status and to use your influence for the good of others before yourself. Others have described humility as healthy self forgetfulness. Healthy self forgetfulness. That's pretty good too. Or to put it another way, humility is not thinking less of ourselves, it's thinking about ourselves less.
