He was confident, independent, talented, passionate, determined, loyal, honest, classy, and on occasions was even a gentleman. But now thanks to Amy now he's becoming almost as insecure as Leonard and as hopeless as Raj.
He now doubts himself with both his work/intelligience/feelings, and can no longer enjoy his own company like he used to, has become apathetic with his work, enjoys spending more time on his hobbies like trains, hacky sack, fun with flags, Legos, making his own convention, and more trains. While he finds those sorts of activities fun they're not exactly taking him anywhere big in his career. A good 95% of his free time is spent on dates with Amy or doing pointless boring shit at her place. And THIS is growth? Unless he gives himself to Amy then they'll really be getting somewhere in their relationship? Fucking REALLY?!! How dull and shallow is that!
I think TPTB decided to dumb-down the show to attract a larger audience. And a larger audience trumps creativity. Vintage Sheldon was way over the heads of most of the fans they wanted to attract. I can't imagine them even watching the show pre-Amy. They would sit stupidly with their mouths hanging open without the slightest idea of what Sheldon was talking about. "I don't get it. Where's the kissing?". That's the target audience for the show now. I feel intellectually insulted even watching it.
