Franklin’s experience suggests that confidence and self-esteem, which both make self-criticism less threatening, are important in this bootstrapping process.
This fits with my personal experience. When I manage to be humble, it’s usually because I don’t feel like I need to prove to myself that I’m good enough or relevant enough. It can veer into arrogance, but when kept in check, simple confidence all the way up is a great way of being receptive to criticism.
