There's nothing wrong with you. I can guarantee that. Finding someone that you can connect with at an emotional level can be very difficult. You sound like a very accomplished person and while I don't know your life, it sounds like you're also very busy.
Here's something that may be happening and can be very tricky to overcome. We can surround ourselves with a certain type of person, be it emotional vampires or crazy stalker girlfriends or,

, people who aren't interested in having a relationship with us. Personally, I surround myself with emotional vampires (of a sort). We all know that guy that always seems to find the crazy girlfriend that tries to kill him with a soldering iron or that person that is always the strong person in all their relationships. It's completely unconscious though, they don't mean to surround themselves with those types of people.
The tricky part is to find out why we are surrounding ourselves with those types of people and then figure out how to meet people outside that bubble.
My suggestion would be to not think "What's wrong with me that they don't like me?", but to think, "What is it about
them that they don't like me." It's one of those "It's not me, it's you" type of things. You may find that once you find your way out of the bubble that you unconsciously surround yourself with, you'll find those people that are interested in you just outside the sphere of your current world.
I hope that makes sense ... having trouble typing
