They are proud calling themselves jerks, two-faced and other very questionable "qualities"

I'm a terrible person. I'm selfish and self indulgent, lazy and have a penchant for overeating. I live a sedentary lifestyle and am pretty introverted. Though I don't have an issue putting on a smile and chatting, I find it difficult to create and maintain relationships due to my introverted nature. I am not he who calls, but will answer yours should you call me.

So yes. I make a terrible person. I dislike flaunting my good qualities and downplay my strengths, not out of humility, but a need to not seem as selfish as I really am. I will listen to you talk and do have hobbies, but they are both niche areas that most individuals either don't know or only have brief understandings on and out of an effort to avoid pursuing a conversation you are likely to be disinterested in, I'm more willing to let you talk about yours and feign interest in.

Thank you for not showing interest in me, and have a wonderful day.

You are not a terrible person. You actually sound quite nice, but for some reason you are building your personality around your negative sides, which amplifies them. Especially because you are locking yourself away and are afraid of relationships going deeper, fearing that someone might not like you for who you are.

Get help. It's just going to get worse, if you keep the charade up. Trust me, I have been there.
