Usage notes
The use of such forms as "I am humbled" in victory speeches and the like has been criticised as an oxymoron given the meaning of the verb humble. It indicates modesty via a sense of unworthiness of the honor, or surprise at one's success; humility rather than humiliation. See also humblebrag.
In contrast, at times "humbled" or "humbling" may reflect deference to a Higher Power and include direct or inferred reference and subservience to the same.
