The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.
Can be No Place for Me There if the "nice things" in question involve a place where others will be happy but the hero feels unworthy to live there.
It was more along the lines of "you would lose your shit if you saw anyone being treated the same way YOU are being treated". But thanks, I had forgotten about that trope.

Extreme Doormat comes to mind, but it clashes with their willingness to fight...
You could treat it as an inversion of Hypocrite. But why isn't Heroic Self-Deprecation enough by itself?
Good question, actually. It might just be Exagerrated.
Maybe. I was mostly focused on the character getting called out on it tbh.

As in, Now, Let Me Carry You, or as in "you idiot, start respecting yourself for Pete's sake!"?
The latter. I settled for Heroic Self-Deprecation with a Lampshade Hanging for now.

When a heroic character, due to Heroic Self-Deprecation, thinks that they don't deserve the nice things (material or otherwise) that they fight to give to everybody else.
