false diffidence

A funny moment from Sun. night. D.N. saying "I forgot to mention 2 things in my speech. One, I didn't promote the anthology. Two, I should have introduced you as the jury chair." Me- Oh! I'm glad you didn't put me on the spot, I would have been embarrassed. D: You wouldn't have had any choice! It's not your decision! Me: Well, yeah, plus, scratch that, I wouldn't have been embarrassed. I would have suffered temporary false diffidence."
