I've had at least two partners in the past who fancied themselves pop-stars, and didn't like the fact that I could sing better than them - they went out of their way to act like my singing was a nuisance and a burden, an unwanted distraction and annoyance from the actual music playing - so I got used to keeping my singing a secret.
My ex was sort of like that. He wanted all of the attention constantly and was jealous of my hobbies and interests. He’d put down my drawing and painting. He fancied himself an artist and was upset when he learned that I was better at drawing than he was. His ego didn’t really lend itself to application.

Still working on getting that crap out of my head. That nagging negative part of me still thinks "shush, nobody wants to hear your noise."
Yeah, me too…

Lately I've been singing to music outside while I'm working on projects, and a few neighbors have overheard me and complimented me. That's helped.
That’s really cool!
I’m too shy for that. My music and art is usually for me only. I’ll occasionally play the piano for family, though.
