Thanks for the replies, everyone, they have been quite helpful.
I have a new theory about friendship and social networks that I'm planning on trying out when I finish moving within the next few weeks. I'm quite excited about it as it may give me some insight on why I have never been able to connect with people up to now.

Heh, I can't help but to think that sarcasm was involved. This was called the God Realm in Buddhist philosophy, no?
Don't me wrong, I love myself above everyone else, and if I could become anyone else in the world, I would still choose to be myself. And I certainly intend to become the greatest being in the world.
But I have no delusions on where I am right now. I have a lot to learn. There are billions of people in the world whose skills, knowledge or emotional mastery are better than mine.
While I fully intend to surpass each and every one of them, I have no misplaced arrogance on somehow being inherently "better" than them. Simply put, we all have different ambitions and desires in life.
If you live a fulfilled life, then even if I was God in person, who am I to say that my life is better than yours?
