Humble pie?

Tried the humility thing today - golly, it's difficult. I'll say one thing though, it seems to make it a lot easier to talk with people. I was having a chat over coffee with a colleague when I thought of something really interesting to say - then came a thought - what about him? So rather than tell my story (supposedly in the hope it would move the conversation on), I asked him about his experience. Surprise, surprise, it was a much more fruitful chat. The real problem, of course, is that as soon as you think you're being humble, then self-confidence (by which I mean confidence in the self) reappears and you've stopped being humble. In fact, I've really blown it with this plog! Oh well, never mind...
