"I like to think..."

I've been googling, and looking it up in the dictionary but just can't find the asnwer. It seems to be a very common usage. (So common that there's not explanation for it...) Does anyone happen to know what it means?

"I like to think I help people learn English." Does "I like to think" mean "I'm happy to know...?"

Thanks a lot for helping...^^
