Okay so

Maybe I’m drunk,  but

“I’m a terrible person, everyone hates me, I’m no good to anyone and shouldn’t be around people because I just bring them down and hurt them, so I’m never going to pursue a relationship ever again, romantic or platonic or otherwise, because I should just be alone.”

Is not actually a sentiment of self-discovery meant to let us know that this character is never going to be in a relationship. I’d kind of call it more like the ramblings of someone at the absolute end of their self worth deciding to stop trying.

I mean, I think there’s an even chance on Dirk and Jake getting back together in the end, and if they do I really hope it’s with the caveat of “we need to work a whole lot harder to be good for each other instead of the opposite of that” and I wouldn’t be shocked if they don’t end up back together.

But absolutely nothing in today’s update has shifted that probability in any way whatsoever >_>
