Some humility mixed in with his bragging? Seems like a fair ask.
You're not the only one, Murray Gell-Mann regarded Feynman as self-aggrandising.
I still liked "Surely You're Joking" though. A lot, even though I've come to regard Feynman as somewhat flawed.

The first time I tried to read a Feynman Diagram as a kid I had to put it down -- the incessant "ME! ME! ME!" dripping from every subatomic particle was a little too much.
Okay now you're just being contrary. Everyone knows that subatomic particles are all, like, "YOU! YOU! YOU!" ..

The first time I tried to read "Surely You're Joking" as a kid I had to put it down -- the incessant "ME! ME! ME!" dripping from every page was a little too much.
I've since mellowed down and can read Feynman or Wolfram without any issues. I even enjoy that style now :-)
