Not sure about the translation. I have found different translations. Do you have the distance to laugh about your own insecurities and mistakes? I struggle with that. But I pretend like I could do that in front of other people. I think if other people notice you cannot do that you are an easy target for mockery.
People who are too proud and act as if they could not stand a joke about oneself are often seen as grim or arrogant. I try to avoid that. There are always different topics where it more easy and less easy to stand a joke. It also depends on who makes the jokes. WIth my friends we sometimes also exchange some harder jokes because we know the limits of each other. We know which subjects are too hurtful.
I think I am a person with a lot of insecurities but I try to be able to laugh about myself. Especially with genuinely good people I can enjoy such an atmosphere. It can also be funny. But if I am surrounded by average people I have way too much anxiety and paranoia.
Maybe this is an important trait for socialising. I usually suck at that.
