In my experience, by far the majority of people *don't* talk about their personal lives or post pictures of themselves, in fandom. That's not a requirement at all.

I like to keep fandom very separate from RL, and I'm sure there are others who do, too.

If you are posting art or fic, then you are participating in fandom. If you leave a comment or a compliment on other people's work, then you are participating in fandom. There's no right or wrong way.

You are being too hard on yourself. Just enjoy your fandoms, enjoy reading, writing, posting, or making art, or whatever your particular talent is. If people comment, fine. That can be an opening for interacting with other fans.

If you feel self-conscious about your art, or self-conscious about interacting with other fans, maybe you can participate in venues where you're allowed to be anonymous, like a kink meme.

Or, make an account or username specifically for fandom, that has nothing to do with other aspects of your life.

Good luck. You shouldn't have to feel bad about fandom, it should be a fun and relaxing thing.
