Jody found Jacob curled up in a ball in the corner of the shower with what could have only been tears on his face, big sticky white tears, and thought,"He must have been disgracing hisself," and giggled.

to put on airs or give oneself airs: Fig. to act better than one really is; to pretend to be good or to be superior; to consider oneself above others; displaying arrogance.
What a jerk! Why give oneself airs? She's no better than any of us.
When you'll get enough of giving yourself airs and talking nonsense, the rest of us little people can carry on with the meeting.

Overextend oneself, undertake too many different enterprises. For example, Tom's exhausted; what with work, volunteer activities, and social life he's spread himself too thin. This expression alludes to smearing something (like butter on bread) in such a thin layer that it does not cover the surface. Jonathan Swift used spread thin in a positive sense, that is, something should occur less often (Polite Conversation, 1731-1738): "They (polite speeches) ought to be husbanded better, and spread much thinner."
With so many layoffs in one's work place there is nothing one can do except spread oneself too thin to keep one's job.

Thomas didn't appear that evening for dinner, nor the next morning at breakfast. Eventually shuffling into the dining room a little after two o'clock in the afternoon, looking exhausted and sporting a thousand-yard stare, between drawn-out breaths and with a weary demeanour, he stated that he'd spent the past twenty-two hours chimping himself red.

B: You just have to put (oneself) yourself out there!

The word got its origin from from a chinese quote that meant something along the line of "Dissing others does not help oneself". When I tried to translated it into English literally, it turned out to be something pretty hilarious.
