Does this make me a freak?

From my point of view it is strange, but there's nothing wrong with that.

I am completely confident in my skills as they exist and in my ability to quickly gain new ones. But I am also completely unwilling to toot my own horn and when it comes to employment this is a problem since nobody else will do it for you. I hate talking about myself with strangers. I hate small talk. I hate having to ask questions, even if I don't really have any (so as to appear engaged). I hate the whole process.

I'm with Alex on this one. I am very confident of my career skills, but I really prefer someone else tout my abilities. I love it when other businesses try to lure me away, which is probably the same as your liking the interview process, but I really cannot say I ever enjoyed the 'Tell me why you are the best for this position' crap.
