Self-deprecating humor

Making fun of yourself before others can teaches you humility, but only if you actually mean it—otherwise you're just fishing for compliments in a clown suit. When done genuinely, it disarms tension, admits your flaws without seeking pity, and signals you're secure enough not to take yourself seriously, which is exactly the posture that makes people trust you.
