There may be one or more sins in your life that are disguising themselves as the virtue of humility. Humility is being humble, and to be humble means not thinking too highly of yourself. Sometimes we end up trying so hard to be humble (and making sure that other people notice how humble we are) that we end up doing the exact opposite and fall into sinful pride. "Hey everyone! come see how humble I am!" is no way to be humble. Another problem that can feel like humility (but is totally wrong!) is selfhatred. People often act like they need to hate themselves for what they have done; like God will only forgive them if they hate themselves. But that is not how it works! God hates sin, but He loves you. And the penalty for your sin is not selfhatred, the real penalty for your sin was paid by Jesus Christ when He died for you. Real humility is neither pride nor selfhatred, real humility is simply understanding that you are no better than anyone else, and appreciating God's grace and love in your life.
