Is it normal to love my own music?

I love to compose and produce my own music. Been playing the Piano since a few years old, and later started producing myself too.

The thing is: I am in love with what I do. I’m convinced that I write the best melodies on earth. They give me a certain feeling, I can’t really explain, but they have some sort of vibe that I love…
I showed a song to a friend for example, and he liked it a lot. He had been listening to it for a while, and some weeks later or so he told me he was still listening to it, and how he loved it. I responded something like “I know, I love it too, so much!” and got some weird looks. As if I was all full of myself…

But isn’t it normal, I mean, the stuff I write is just… *me*, you know? It comes from my heart so I guess it’s what I feel, isn’t it normal that I like it? If I wouldn’t like my own stuff it would be weird, wouldn’t it, I mean if I wouldn’t like it, why would I write it in the first place? I’d just throw the project away and start new… but this vibe my songs carry have a deeper meaning for me, I think that’s why I’m so in love with them.

Yesterday night at almost 3 AM I did a draft for a new song and I’m listening to it all the time, YES I DO LOVE IT!

    Yes this is normal. But maybe next time someone compliments you, you should just say thanks.

    Do you even have to ask this question? You've already answered it and I would think that anyone composing music would love both it and their own music enough to learn how to do it in the first place, just as you said. Its great to be involved in music and still going, a lot of people end up quitting and then regretting it but the question just has an obvious answer and self-promoting vibe to it.

    Yes. I think that most composers are proud of their craft. In fact, I could compose (my dream!), I would be very proud of myself. I might even shed a tear or two for my work and tears for the journey it took to get there!!!!

    You should love the things that you composed. Then there would be no sense in composing it. Of course, you should be critical about it too so that you can develop your skills but loving your own work should be why you do it. It's part of the passion.

    It's normal to like your own music, but not to be cocky about it. You're overconfident saying "I’m convinced that I write the best melodies on earth". That is ironic because someone who wrote the best melodies on earth would never think their melodies were the best on earth. They would always find flaws in their work and think of how they could improve.

    p.s is there a link you can post where we can listen to something you wrote?

    Well, you wouldn't want to make songs you didn't like or think are mediocre, I think this is very normal.
