AirDrop not working between devices with my appleID logged in. Can see everyone except a device with my appleID!

I have several devices, 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, MacBook Air, iMac and I can see everyone one else on airdrop except my devices. I logged out of my appleID on my brand new iPad Pro and then I can see the device. Once I log back in, it does not show up on my airdrop list but everyone else can see me. I’ve tried apple stores and no one has a clue what can be causing this however the last person to help me along with myself came up with the idea that it’s something with the Apple ID which is causing this problem. Can anyone help??? I use airdrop often and it’s a very inconvenient to always have to airdrop o someone else so that they can airdrop me back on my other device.

Ok, finally figured out! Spoke with a senior specialist and after going thru many different settings we tried one last thing which was actually the issue. For some odd reason my own contact was placed on the block list. Not sure how it ended up there but that was the issue. In Settings>Phone>Call Blocking & Identification, check to see if your personal contact info is under the blocked list and unblock it. This fixed my issue instantly!
