True humility is not primarily right action; it's a right mindset, a proper heart-orientation, and a healthy dependence on God and others. For this reason, acting humble is less important than being humble.
True humility is not found in reaching down to someone else's level. If you think you're doing someone a favor by bending down to help them, you are not truly humble. A humble person doesn't treat others as less than himself, but sees them as more than himself. "...in humility count others as more significant than yourselves" (Phil. 2:3).
True humility acknowledges it's own ignorance and hesitates to teach others. A humble person earnestly seeks the right words to help someone, but willingly admits when they just don't know. They are not quick to impose their opinions on others. "...let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger..." (Js. 1:19). This 'I'm right' pride often leads to heated disputes.
True humility listens to others and learns from others. It is a student and not a teacher. It takes the 'weakest' of Christian brothers and willingly declares, "You have the Spirit of God in you. I will listen to your words and allow God to teach me things from you." (Personally, I've had God teach me through unbelievers, much less a Spirit-indwelt son of God).
I ask you to stop thinking of yourself as greater than others. Search out why you might think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, and pray that God would give you a proper view of yourself.
"Whoever wants to become great among you will be your servant" (Mark 10:43).
