I don't know if I'm posting this in the right forum, but I just need a second opinion on this.
In real life, I try to be as nice as I can be to everyone, especially my family or best friends. If I have plans that I wanted to do, and someone needs help with something, I usually drop my plans and help them out. I know it sounds cheesy, but I can really act like that at times.
I never liked advertising my work, whatever it may be. I never though it deserves it. I will make a big deal about some things, but only for a little while. And whenever I make art and someone sees it and says "Wow, that's awesome!" I usually respond with "No, no, X's work is much better. This is crap shouldn't be compared to theirs." I usually find myself critiquing my own work at times, yeah, I'm that modest.
I'be heard a lot in my life saying that I'm too modest. Too mean of my own work. I need to do something for myself. But, I have to ask, is being modest really a bad thing? Should I man up and gloat for once? Because it never really feels right in my gut when I do, like I'm king of the pricjs or something. I don't know.

I would say that if you're not accepting compliments readily, then you're too modest. You don't have to grow an immense ego or gloat about your work, but don't be so hard on it.

I would say that if you're not accepting compliments readily, then you're too modest. You don't have to grow an immense ego or gloat about your work, but don't be so hard on it. I will fully admit that I'm my worst critic. Usually, when a complement happenes to come my way, I feel as though its being used on something that's not worth its time. Because I know some great artist in real life, hell, I have some in my art class at school. But I try to be nice and say "Thanks" but don't really mean it. I know its not the right thing to do, and its like the words are like paper airplanes hitting a brick wall, but that's just how I feel about things I do in real life. On that note, that's something that I imagine my shadow to be like. (Look up Persona 4, it'll help) He would be my worst critic, looking for ways to make myself seem inferior, even though I want to make some self worth fron myself. Back on topic, I guess I need to me more accepting of what people say to me. Sure it was only one post, but it did help in the long run. ...I really need to stop rambling online.
