Some people put friggin' everything on Facebook. I like to put up a few things that I can share with my friends ... but your "not wanting to flaunt" is a good filter on your postings. Not just on Facebook but in general, one needs to be alert to unintentional flaunting when one has friends and relatives who are in different financial circumstances.
... but the 'gangnam" custom title is out of the question.

Way to much "stuff" being shared on FB. My neice posts everyday. She must have 20 or more pics of her dog. I'm glad she loves her pet, but come on. One is enough.
If you aren't comfortable with posting the information, then you did the right thing by not posting.
Pics or it didn't happen?
I think a lot of people share too much, but I wouldn't know nearly as much as I do if people didn't share pics and knowledge on here. I do like looking at razors.

I think its a matter of personal taste as well as personality. Ever tell a joke to rolled eyes, and hear someone else tell the same joke to guffaws? We all have different personalities, and different ways of expressing stuff... or not. I think I'm more like you, I tend not to post on Facebook too much about what I'M doing. Its just not my style. But me, I'm the most humble person I know 
Although I agree with this comment 100%, it's also how someone interprets the "news".
i agree with chris too.
personally, i dont share a ton on fb either. but not sharing it because you think you are bragging is a bit excessive.
now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lets see these sweet bikes!!!!

This is one of those "There is no right and there is no wrong." issues. If you don't feel comfortable posting, then don't feel bad about it. If others want to be upset that you didn't "share" with them, then that is their prerogative. If you can make yourself happy and everyone else happy, too, that's great. If not, that's not your problem. Even though I spent my career in the computer field and appreciate their workings, I am not on Facebook. If i have anything to tell someone, I'll find another way to say it. Besides, being actively on Facebook makes you easier to be reached; I want to be more difficult to be reached.
My wife and I are like that, but opposite of your situation. My wife never posts anything on her page and has maybe 12 friends. She is very reserved about that sort of thing, and that's okay. Me, on the other hand, I don't care if I catch the world's tiniest bluegill, a picture of that sucker is going up on my page. To each her or his own. I say be you, brother. If you don't wanna post pics, don't. Invite your friends over for a bbq and show it off in person!
No different than posting pictures of your new child or grandchild in my opinion for family and friends to coo over. Just sayin. But you might not feel comfortable with that either so don't do it.
It's whatever you feel is right. I post pics on FB because a lot of my family and friends live thousands of miles from me, but I never post anything I am not comfortable with being seen by the great unwashed.
I am in the same boat- I don't tell people what I own. If I get a new TV or computer, I get rid of the box at work- I don't put it on the curb. The only place where my motorcycle says Harley Davidson is on the sissy bar and derby cover- you have to look for it, I don't advertise.
I've never had a Facebook account....and never will.
I can fully understand how it might be confronting and uncomfortable not to "follow the pack". You're not missing out.
I don't have time for real life as it is. I try to be humble and I definitely value my privacy.
I don't assess my worth as an individual on the basis of the monetary cost of my possessions or the quantity of "friends" I have. Those that do, in my opinion, are missing out on the truly valuable and enriching experience of just living.
