Like i said earlier in the topic, look at EQing, dynamics, stereo image and final levels when it comes to mastering. I'm doing mastering this year at University and one of the first things we were told is its usually not wise to master your own stuff. This takes stuff like you are so used to hearing the track you get used to hearing certain frequencies etc and you will probably miss stuff when it comes to the mastering stage. I also wouldn't advise you to master in a bedroom studio with some speakers/no acoustics etc.
I haven't even listened to your tracks, i didn't call you amateur.

Unless you're making a living from music... Your amateur. As for on topic, I master my own stuff but I take a good break from the track before doing it.

taking a break from hearing your tracks doesn't help you recognize the things you must change (meaning mastering).
even with a fresh hearing, as a masterer you must look at your track from a different point of view, and that takes skill and hearing.
I kind of understand why some people prefer to do mastering via other people even if they are skilled
at least this is what I assume, is it right?
