I wonder if it's time for you to manage these situations yourself in a more robust way? I suppose you have tried the tactic of meeting their responses with enthusiasm and a speck of gratitude (even if it has to be forced out through almost gritted teeth!)? Like you, I think I have a tendency to be a bit hard on myself and I know it can be hard work for others to deal with at times. Albert is a saint for putting up with my self-doubts and put-downs and I have to work really hard at trying to be positive sometimes. However, when I can manage it, other people seem to prefer to be with me.
Zeon I did ask a couple of people but they just said yeah ok, but in a sarky way!!
