Personal growth makes dating harder?!

This isn’t intended to be cruel, but you seem like someone who needs a wake-up call, to me. I could be off-base here, and if so, my apologies up front. That said,

Your post reads like someone trying really hard to sound casual and simultaneously to convince everyone (including herself) that she is as awesome as she obviously very much wants others to believe she is. And it’s pretty immediately apparent that the likely driver for this is the search for justification for her lack of romantic engagement.

From the oblique manner in which the ultimate question asked by the post is raised (allll the way at the bottom..after the profuse attempts to identify as awesome..) to the strange lists (who lists one’s mental health issues with two items followed by ‘etc.’?), well..

Here’s a ProTip: people who are as awesome as you clearly want to be don’t seek validation in reddit posts. They definitely don’t do it while simultaneously asserting that they’re too tired (from being awesome) at the end of the day to seek it in a relationship. As if! amirite!?

And lastly: those who actually experience personal growth worthy of distinguishing them from the rest of humanity (thereby rendering potential romantic partners nearly as appealing as inanimate objects by comparison) need not assert it verbally; the fruits of their colossal, Herculean growth will make it so readily apparent to others that this won’t be necessary.

If you make music and you’re great at it, post a link. I expect you will not do so, of course. And if you do, frankly, I expect it will be unremarkable at best.

And that is the answer to your question of whether or not something is wrong with you.

I will happily eat my words upon hearing your phenomenal artistry. If you do reveal yourself as an utter Renaissance Woman who truly cannot be expected to settle for the sea of mediocrity that is modern man, well, I guess all I’ll have left to be surprised over is your blaring lack of comprehension when it comes to the value in relationships or the individuals who compose them (hint: it’s not about finding your equal in the life competition). I would expect more from the source of such life mastery, to be honest.
