    My ideal partner would have exactly identical personality to me.

    During highschool I would regularly imagine a “perfect crush” during bus rides. In my last year I had that “damn I was an edgy asshole during middle and highschool” moment and I wanted to change.

    So since my friend group is also jerks like me I just started imitating that imaginary person until “fake it til you make it” kicked in.

    Everything from my sense of humour to taste in music changed over time. I even became a slightly bit more feminine when I used to be hardcore Matt Walsh fan until this point.

    I also got hobbies I just thought looked attractive like Archery. I got into computers because this.

      I read somewhere ages ago that you should become the person you want to be with the most, which I think is great advice. And less about searching for someone else who is that. Sounds like this is what you did.
