Yeah. The entire blog post (to me) gives the strong impression that the author is an extremely self centred, selfish... er... prick.
Maybe they'll learn to be less that way over time, and hopefully their ex-girlfriend learns to avoid ungrateful people.
It also gives a strong impression of somebody who is afraid of asking for help. The entire post could be summarized as "I feel like an important self-made man and I'm scared of starting therapy that I clearly need to help me sort out my enormous insecurities"
