I think the title of polyglot is just silly. I speak 4 languages fluently but I would never introduce myself as a polyglot.
Honestly, I only speak two languages, and to me, someone like you is definitely a polyglot. I get that you don’t wanna sound full of yourself or anything, but calling it what it is isn’t arrogant—it’s just being accurate. You speak four languages! That’s amazing, and you should own it. I'm bilingual, and sure, my native language is stronger, but that doesn’t mean I downplay the other one. Give yourself some credit, seriously.
This is true not many people can say they can speak so many languages.
