What's "be humbled" mean?

Rebecca

To "be humbled" means that you understand or become aware that you're not as important or special as you thought you were. You become less proud due to awe, inspiration, or admiration. It could also be because of gratitude or underserved advantage. Ex: I was humbled when I went to the museum and could appreciate the technological and social advantages we have today compared to the past! => gratitude Ex: I'm often humbled by the kindness of strangers.
