I don’t want to boast of myself but I have to say yes.

Could you please check the following?

Do you think you are a polite person?
I don’t want to boast of myself but I have to say yes. I often keep good manners with others, especially strangers and I often break the ice and hit
it off quite well with others, simply because I am so courteous on our first meeting.

I would get rid of 'myself' after 'boast' altogether.

PS) I am not a teacher.

If you're going to use "boast", say "boast about myself."

 

[Tarheel]

Boasting is speaking highly of yourself, so you don't need "myself" there (as alexpen already noted). Then, of course, after saying "I don't want to boast" the person goes on to do just that.

What I meant in my editing was:

I don't want to boast..

Or

I dont want to praise myself..
