I'm a very proud person, and I'm proud of what I've accomplished. That being said, you're right about coming off as negative or ashamed. I don't actually feel that way about myself or my efforts, but I realize that it may not look that way over the internet.
In fact, I had intended the "downright embarrassment" bit as a joke. Still, thanks for pointing it out!
