11 Original 1-liners — Jokes About Oneself
What do self-absorption, self-pity and self-righteousness have in common?
Self.
Self: that invisible chain that snaps tight whenever we stray.
"Just be yourself, they say. Which one, I think?”
To be self taught is to have learned from oneself.
Self-consciousness: a weed in the garden of self-awareness
Self-absorption is a turn-off, because lack of self-knowledge is.
The antidote to self-indulgence?
A sense of humor!
The large spirit is slow to receive a compliment; the small spirit quick to misperceive an insult.
At the heart of every vice sits selfishness, yawning.
The problem with being full of yourself is that you cannot fill up with much else.
It is an extension of selfishness not to forgive another what you do not forgive in yourself.

That beard face though.... damn. Way to catch me off guard. Wasn't ready for that one. Still a bit stunned. Well played. Game. Set. Match.
Haha, glad it amused you, @nonameslefttouse 🤣 I’m 3/4 clown, but it’s the other 1/4 that I mostly show the world... Nice to play a little.
I love a good sense of humor! My favorite is the first one. It's a clever riddle because we automatically think about the qualities mentioned, not the word "self."
To smile and think - I couldn't ask for a more satisfying reader response, @jayna. Thanks, for lending my words your attention. I hope other works of mine with also capture your imagination :)
And vice versa! It’s so nice to get acquainted with so many wonderful people on this platform, and share content, ideas, and support.
Great innovative approach I liked it. Also amazing play with words. Another amazing effort by one of our most Active members. Thank you for your hard work my friend. Keep on inspiring us all. God Bless. Peace and Love. Your post has been included in the Steemit Poets United: Daily Dose Poetry and Prose #5 Issue
Bless your heart, @angelveselinov, for your enthusiastic response & your efforts on behalf of literary art. I'm very glad this serious play tickled you :) As you know, the 'self' (or ego) is tricky and sly and must be made fun of, if we ever hope to transcend it. Thank you, my friend, for including me in SPU issue #5, and helping me to reach a wider audience. I look forward to checking it out, soon! Warmly, Yahia
You are always welcome. We all strive our work to be seen by others that is why we made the group and I am quite happy to see that it gives good results. You are so right that the ego self is driving things a bit slow on earth but after all I really think that it is just a part of the soul that is a new theory that I have to explain in my future works :) God Bless You for your hard work. Peace and Love.
Peace and love back your way. Thanks, for the upvote and the uplifting sentiments :) Good luck with your own work, spirit mate, on the page and off.
Just be yourself. Be honest, work towards a goal, and you'll achieve it.
Yes, that's pretty sound advice. Thanks.
You're welcome, because you deserve it.
