False humility is actually pride in disguise. People who intentionally devalue or belittle their achievements, contributions or worth may be struggling with false humility.
Falsely humble persons struggle with giving commendation or rendering an apology, however, they expect frequent commendations, approvals, apologies and recognition from others.

To seamlessly assert authority and receive submission in return, build trust by doing care, love and watching over. If you are lacking in these, you’re likely to be struggling with people submitting to you. A husband who keeps ranting, ‘I am the head of this home’, you must submit to my authority’ is very likely not performing his functions as the head. Just as submission in a marriage relationship is a lot easier when the husband plays his own part of loving the wife unconditionally, so it is much easier to submit to an authority when trust has been built. Lead according to the Word of God. Leading is more about relationship and influence than position.
