It's a tough circle to free ones self from.
I didn't realize that my self deprecating "jokes" about myself and others even had such an effect until a favorite cousin of mine noticed it and pointed it out. Since then I dropped every "friend" that I have who acts this way to themselves and those around them. It's amazing how much better you feel and how much more self worth you feel when you don't subject yourself to these people and you start dropping complements instead of stink bombs. For McCready it would be a lot harder to avoid...
