Yeah, people can often take things as being boastful, prideful or in any other way than what you actually mean. Generally, when I say I do something, can do something, it's because I'm happy I can do it. If they saw my life, they'd understand. I'm quite happy that I'm working on and fixing the deck, which say to my father, was nothing, even though he wasn't a carpenter/builder. But to me, it's something. I don't like people in the real world applauding me for it (I get embarrassed), but that's just my personality; I hit almost zero on that narcissist testing and likely go into the negative due to little self-worth.
