I think you're the only one who can answer that last question, but I agree with MisterPaul that you should find someone that fits and takes you as you are without you needing to cut back your training time. Maybe someone that at least partly trains along with you.
And sure, they should like you and it doesn't hurt to have one's accomplishments praised. That does not mean that you're a narc or such. There is a healthy degree to that and it is a fundamental human need you should not feel obliged to feel bad about unless it goes beyond a healthy degree (for you and others), which frankly your post does not sound like at all. SO your give yourself a break, you sound like an awesome human being.
