I feel you, OP
But I can also understand why you'd keep that to yourself. Fandom has long been a haven for the chronically insecure, which is great! But unfortunately, when left unchecked, that leads to a culture that deems anything other than total insecurity and constant self-deprecation as arrogance.
(I usually see this with appearance, though. Everyone expects every woman to be full of nothing but shame and loathing for her body. Even saying "I think I look fine" will get you weird looks and accusations of pride, despite the fact everyone around you is constantly telling you you're beautiful to counteract the media message of exactly the opposite. And me? While I consider myself to have a lot of room for improvement, I think I'm hot right now as it is. But I've always learned the hard way to be careful where and when to say that out loud, or type it when it comes to online/fandom places. Because apparently listening to people around me and learning to balance and ignore the media standard of beauty makes me arrogant. >.<)
