意思
Controlling one's emotions.
文化背景
In Danish culture, 'selvbeherskelse' (self-control) is a key part of 'dannelse' (upbringing). It is often seen as more polite to hide your anger than to express it directly. The 'Law of Jante' influences this idiom by encouraging people not to stand out or make a scene, which requires constant self-restraint. Danish workplaces are flat and egalitarian, but professionalism is maintained through emotional restraint rather than strict hierarchy. In the age of 'shitstorms', the ability to 'lægge bånd på sig selv' before commenting is considered a digital virtue in Denmark.
Use it in Job Interviews
It's a great way to describe your 'soft skills' or emotional intelligence without sounding arrogant.
Don't forget the 'Selv'
If you just say 'lægge bånd på mig', it sounds like you are physically putting ribbons on yourself. You need 'selv' to make it figurative.

Remember that in Denmark, being 'nede på jorden' (down to earth) often requires laying ribbons on your own success.
