When I studied art I found it really strange how many students would rely on copying (whether from life or other art) to create images.
Yes, it's normal to be self conscious about your artwork. I used to be very embarrassed - somehow it was made worse by the fact that people kept pointing out how good at art I was. I had no idea how to take a compliment, and the praise didn't actually make me feel good, just anxious.
There's nothing wrong with keeping your art to yourself. If it's a private hobby, then don't worry about it. You're drawing FOR YOU, not anyone else.
I can never gather the confidence to show any of my art to anyone?
