Sorry dude, I didn't mean to upset you. I just don't believe you, that's all. You don't just climb out of your house with home training and no wrestling background and just start tapping out people with 2+ years of experience. It just doesn't happen that way. In the grappling world though, there are tons of bullshitters out there and people who think that their level of grappling is top notch, it's not hard to imagine that you may have bumped into some of those people. Hell, once I moved out here I met a guy who said he was a ninja and that he's beaten people from all the nearby schools (of which there were none at the time).
Even my gym is isolated in a random little midwest bubble and from week to week I can feel like a moron or a regional grappling god. It only took me a handful of visits to some seriously competitive schools to realize where I sat on the food chain of jiujitsu and it was both a humbling and inspiring experience.
So this leads me to presume 1 of 2 likely options. 1) The people you rolled with were of a much lower skill level than you believed and you were able to hold your own against them boosting your ego. or 2) You're one of those kinds of people who slightly bends or exaggerates their experiences and stories to boost credibility. Both of these types have visited this forum many times again and again.
The major point though, is that none of that matters and none of it impresses anybody here. It's pretty simple really, the truth is in the footage and there's no need to toot your own horn if you got footage. Just train hard, roll often, tap even more often, and enjoy the grind through jiujitsu training.
