#self-abasement

• Self-annihilation — The act of self-annihilation and its result; a moral, psychological, or spiritual process through which an individual resorts to dissolving their own importance, deliberate self-humiliation, or the symbolic reduction of the self to nothingness. In theological or existential philosophical texts, it represents an extreme form of abandoning the ego, performed to achieve spiritual purity or as a reaction to a profound crisis of meaning.
