Yes I could spend years trying to "fix" them but honestly, what good would that do? About the only way I will lose out for not changing is my personal relationships with people which I don't really need anyways.

Love doesn't pay the bills; money does. I would gladly sacrifice romance for money and power and I would gladly continue to immerse myself in my daily activities in order to not feel anything that way I can insure that I never go without and I am never dependent on another human being ever again.

I would die before being seen as weak and powerless ever again.
Maybe these aren't a problem for you and that's great. I know many here would love to be in that situation. My opinion for me is that fixing them or finding away to have a balance with them would be the ultimate goal. To find the happiness and love again that I once had.
There's nothing wrong with trying to provide for yourself and be strong, as long as you are happy. But to me you sound conflicted with this. You want to be strong, self sufficient, but something is missing that would make you whole again. If it's not worth the work and trouble to you though, things will never change. On the other hand if you are a very happy person now , why change?
