1.) Realize that I am not really humble, and am hurting others around me with such behavior.
I think you got that one backwards. You're mostly hurting yourself ...

I would emend that to, "My brain is compensating for my self-perceived averageness."
Haha. That's kind of funny. Thanks, though.
... and that's a perfect example of that. You seem to automatically interpret Daniels remark as some kind of "lie to make you feel better".

7.) I should not care what others think.
First of all, I think in the context that should read "You should not care *as much* what others think *about you*".
Second, I think that's confusing cause and effect. If you've got high self-confidence, you don't need to care as much what others think about you. But you won't magically get high self-confidence by pretending not to care what others think.
How do you get there? As someone who cares way to much about what others think, I'm afraid I can't really help you there...

* I need therapy.
I highly doubt anyone on this forum, except you yourself, knows you well enough to be able to assert this with any kind of confidence. And as far as I know, noone here got a degree in psychology.
So if *you* think you might need therapy, then perhaps you should try it. In that case, you should probably stop listening to our hobby psychology, too
