i dont like talking about good things in my life because that's bragging. and i don't like talking about bad things in my life because that's whining. i try to say neutral things like, "i am alive" but that is both bragging and whining

I completely relate. I've been practicing turning these apprehensions into affirmations, such as "There are people who like my art and there are people who don't like my art. Both are ok." It's not perfect, but it helps.

Dinosaur Comics came to my rescue on this one - when in doubt I go with "I'm a skeleton wrapped in meat that thinks it's alive."
