it is not 1000000% embarrassing.
I really think your riding style is cool too, because there is no right or wrong way to ride a bike, it all depends on how you ride it!

I rode over 2k km on the VB GF002 last year, and because i didn't like the geometry as a "do it all" bike, i bought a new road bike. I did enjoy it a lot on actual gravel /off road though.
This year, i rode only c.200km on a clone of the latest Grevil (by Carbon Speed, Peter is on the forum), and i got along with the geometry much better, probably because it feels more like a road bike. On stupidly steep stuff, you have to put your weight on the bars otherwise the front wheel lifts off.
So while not exactly scientific since i didn't ride them side by side (at least i did use the same wheels & tyres), and i really didn't put much mileage on the Grevil clone, i guess i prefer the Grevil geometry, which is closer to a road bike (i use geometry bike geek website to compare angles & measurements). Almost all of my riding is road. I'm absolutely useless on a MTB, it's literally embarrassing. So that's a bias there.
