I'm not a nice person. I'm just an extremely flawed one. There's a difference between under-selling yourself to appear modest and under-selling yourself because it's what you believe.
With all this talk on musicians: anyone that hates music probably doesn't want to spend any time near me. Loving it isn't a necessity, but I tend to do a fair amount of music in terms of choirs and what-have-you, and someone that couldn't tolerate that wouldn't like me for very long.
Then again, that's a fairly moot point, because most of the people I meet I meet at choirs and other musical events
