Our nature is to criticize others, and if we criticize ourselves it’s also for some potential gain for the ego.
Baal HaSulam writes in Shamati that we should spend 23.5 hours in the direction of doing good to others/the Creator and half an hour a day criticizing ourselves.
But honestly, when we are in these scrutinies, it’s usually back and forth. One action towards the outside which then sheds light on my actual intention for myself.

The force that created us, the will to bestow, will always be above the force of reception until Gmar HaTikkun, which even then, whichever force begets another, you could say will always be above it since it’s eternally a consequence of that “parent” force.
Thanks!
This is a big topic but it’s a quality of the Creator here that we want to be similar to. It’s not the same humble you’re thinking of now.
Also depends on the environment here, which setting you are in.
If you are with the friends you study Kabblah with, you should always only show love.
Family and friends…I’m not sure? Seems like that would be the same answer, but the love there would just mean to make everyone feel good in their ego, where if you are with friends who want to reveal that it’s the Creator’s love we use to bind us together and discovering that reveals that we are all one and there cannot be any other attitude towards one another, a binding force of love that flows between us.
Those are two different connections.
Eventually this will be the entire world united under this blanket of love.
Thanks!
