Self deprecation, is the tool of the the 21st Century for most (attention whores) people now. It is their way of staying above the topical subjects. For the most part it is harmless and benign. But, when you see an increase in volume, and persistence that their self-flagellation be acknowledged, that is when you pull out the big guns and let it rip through their flesh. Make emm hurt until they drop it. But, always remember, silence is golden in any situation, and hurts more than ANY thing, good or bad you may say to them. Just pretend as if you are permanently deaf.
