I think it's weird to be ashamed of being born in country XY. It's not like you can choose in which country you're raised in.
I don't get patriotism either for the same reasons.

I think it's most healthy to see the bad and good things that came/come out of your country and be able to critisize what's going on in your country without getting too self-destructive. Sadly I don't know many people who are balanced like this.

I live in a country where it's either extreme patriotism (to the point of loking down on other countries for not being "as awesome") or extreme loathing and self-hate.

I think what the person above is trying to get at is a sense of cultural legacy that gets instilled into national and personal identity. From what little I remember, there's been a lot of violent turmoil in Croatia's very recent past, with more than a few human rights violations.

So for the OP it could be guilt, something to do with their country's international reputation, or just having felt no special reason to feel proud of their identity as a Croation till now. Lots of things.
