Most of the time, most of the people try to hide most of their weaknesses. It is understandable as one wouldn't want their weakness put on public display. Some more mature human beings with a self-deprecating humour may joke about their shortcomings but their intent is to make people laugh.
However, there are certain people who glorify some of their own shortcomings. Their intent is not to highlight their weakness but it is to slyly highlight their strengths if the listener can read between the lines.
I will give some examples below:
Dialogue: "I am not a morning person yaar."
Interpretation: I'm too happening to sleep early. I have a roaring nightlife. Obviously, I will be a bit dazed in the morning. Waking up early is so uncool anyway for a carefree person like me! I'm also too cool to follow routine.
Dialogue: "You talk to him. My temper is too bad to deal with such people. Once I lose it, I cannot control myself."
Interpretation: Watch out! Don't mess with me!
Dialogue: "Nowadays, I simply can't travel by public transport."
Interpretation: I have made a lot of money and need to get it across to people somehow.
Dialogue: "I find it hard to stay committed to one person."
Interpretation: I've been with more people than you can count on your fingers.
I personally tend to either ignore or mock such people. However, they are so full of themselves that they don't realize that they are being mocked. I'm especially annoyed by those who say they are not morning people - in fact I know people who hate to admit that they tend to wake up early sometimes - insecure jerks!
