I don’t know you, but I can see that you’re halfway there. Let’s take the next step.
It’s important for yourself that you understand that it’s not Rosie who is „struggling“. The one „struggling“ is you, it’s projection. I get it, I’ve been there. We all fall into these traps of projecting our own insecurities onto others.
Let’s take another step.
Consider the possibility you did not type your comment primarily for us to read. Is it possible you typed it out for yourself, to externalise an inner conflict? Maybe, via your comment, you’re effectively trying to address the better version of you, which you’re painfully aware is inside of you waiting to be allowed? If that‘s the case, allow yourself to grow and resolve this conflict. Love yourself and your attitude towards yourself and by extension towards others will likely change. It seems that you actually crave this alteration. I don’t believe that you have accepted defeat despite saying „but it is what it is“.
In any event, Rosie has a successful TV career. Nobody forces you to watch anything or anyone. Personally, I find Rosie funny as fuck, and the suspense of waiting for the deadpan punchlines to come through is what makes her comedy unique. Go Rosie.
I don't know why you think that this is projection on the OPs part.
Personally I don't find that "suspense" part that you describe. I fully agree that she has a highly successful career and fan base - doesn't mean her humor is for everyone.
Personally I'm curious to see the series and I find her way less annoying than some of the past people which were highly popular (Cooper and Stirling for me personally).
I'm more curious than worried - and could fully understand that someone expressed "oh there's this comedian I don't enjoy, too bad. Oh is that something I shouldn't say about this person specifically?".
