Baby question

Hello, I am really really new at using wireshark so this question will look very dumb and basic. So, I was given an homework in which I was told to use icmp filter and to ping my own ip adress. So I go to cmd to find my ip and ping it but, when I ping it, nothing appears on wireshark packet list. I tried pinging websites to test if I couldn't get any packet but I didn't get any issue at this level so the problem remains only if I ping my own ip. So, anyone now what am I missing?

Also, sorry for the poor english I mostly speak french.
