Words in English have different meanings in different contexts. In the Catholic context, "humility" does not have the same meaning as in standard English!
The Catholic idea is about recognizing one's own unworthiness before God and accepting one's place in God's order. It is not about self-deprecation or feeling worthless, it's about seeing how magnificent God's larger plan is, and recognizing that you are just a tiny piece of that plan.

Yea I was going to say, the opposite of confidence to me seems to be insecurity
Whereas I personally think the opposite of arrogance would be more humility
An arrogant person who’s learned a lot might say “I know more than you” or “I know a lot of things”
While a humble person might say “the more I’ve learned the more I realize I do not know”
An arrogant person is brash, a humble person is quiet. It don’t associate humility as a negative or as self-deprecation
