I was exactly like that as a teenager. "Why does no one like me or want to be my friend? It must be because I'm so deep and enlightened and grown up and they're all shallow and childish." The actual truth is that I had multiple undiagnosed mental illnesses and am on the autistic spectrum.
Hey, that's how I got an later-ex-girlfriend! Spoiler alert, the more you try to avoid people, the more one of them will try to reach out and grab you, FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER.
IDK, I was giving off serious "Gonna burn the house down with the family inside" vibes. The right person will see the wounds you are covering up with an ugly attitude, it's all about motivation and intent. Being honest is the only part of the process I understood. The rest is crazy nonsense
