I know you know how to toot your own horn. I don't know what happened in that store, other than you weren't prepared for the question. But now you are, and you will never make that mistake again. All in all, I would say it was a great learning experience for you.

If someone asks me if I am good at something I don't care about, say learning new software and teaching it to others, I have no problem saying I'm good at. There is no emotional tie to it. But ask me about something I care about and look out. Within ten seconds, you will hear a dozen reasons why I can't do it. Don't have time to do it. Why you really don't want me to do it. Which is probably why I've never gotten to the self-promotional stage... :-) I think it also matters what you are tooting about.
