Oh, no, please don't apologize--it's great that you carry that confidence. And I think you're underrating the knowledge you've built up from long experience with music. Certainly I still don't know much about vocally oriented pieces, whether to sing or to listen to.
You're right about critique, insofar as I knew quite precisely all through private violin lessons and county orchestral participation how good I was/n't and how much potential I did/n't have relative to those nearby. At one point I was assistant concertmaster but knew I'd never be concertmaster, within that group of recurring fellow-travelers and friends.
