Well you are exceptionally poor at English. It could be normal.

It's normal to have mock humility but I've never liked it.

If you're good at something recognize that fact and don't curtsy around the issue.

Yeah it normal. I'm an artist too but I don't think I'm as good as others say. Artists tend to judge themselves on higher standards than non-artists.

There is, infact, a word for it. "Modest".

Yeah, a lot of people do that.

Yes that's normal. I'm the same way, but not in art though. I play tennis and a lot of people say I'm all good, but i ignore their compliments and tell them i'm not. I don't like to be cocky or anything. It also helps because if I think I'm not good then i strive to be better and i work on my flaws and work harder

Any creative person is their own worst critic. But if you're proud of something, don't hide it. Criticize yourself and congratulate yourself as needed. Just be honest. Modesty is one thing, but when multiple people acknowledge your talent, then eventually you'll have to learn to accept their praise with humility.

i freaking hate when people complain about grammar. this isn't school. who cares jeeeeeeeeeeezzzzz
