Natural
The sentence is grammatically correct and can be used as is without a problem.
However, depending on the context, it’s rather confrontational to say “I have a very fussy personality” even if we add an apology in front.
Similar to Japanese, we can soften the sentence by reducing the degree of fussiness and by adding an “if”.
“I am sorry if I’m a little fussy.”
“I am sorry, I tend to be a bit fussy.”
“I apologise for my fussy personality.”
“I apologise in advance if I appear somewhat fussy.”
