A hybrid of the humble brag and the thirst trap, the humble trap deploys the appearance of vulnerability and authenticity in social media posts as bait for romantic or sexual conquests.
Social media post: “I’ve been trying to learn how to put contacts in, but it’s hard because my eyelashes are so long.”
Commenter: “Ok, but why are you also shirtless in this video? Is this a humble trap?”

Get the Humble Dis mug.A form of PR or just plain boasting in the form of faux humility combined with the brag, that has now reached epidemic proportions on LinkedIn such that almost every post is now a form of humblebrag. Usually identified as any post that starts with an excessive emotional adjective like delighted, honoured, thrilled, excited, humbled, surprised, etc. or in the case of announcing new star hires, welcome or congratulations. Normally elicits a few sycophantic thumbs up reactions and vast quantities of silent puking.
Post: "honoured and humbled to be awarded 2023 best investment banker ever - congratulations to my team who made it all possible!"
Reaction: yet another humblebrag
CEO Post: "welcome to the team Alex Smith, former head of everything at Goldman Sachs - thrilled and humbled to have you join us on our exciting journey"
Employee Reaction: lets see how long that humblebrag lasts when he goes after your job...
