Man, this reminds me of a quote, I can't remember who said it, or what the exact wording was, but it was something like "Do not be so humble - you are not that great."
I think humility becomes condescension anytime it is false - when we pretend to be humbled when in fact we feel superior, and are looking down on those we pretend to be humbled by. I can't think of any clearer way to put it than that.
