Your rating graph is exponential. You haven’t even reached your plateau yet, so things are looking up, but I don’t know if you’ll be successful in securing a title.

Yeah, that's really fast. Maybe one day we'll look back on these topics and see you have a title by your name 
I remember one guy making a topic like "can I be a master" and then a few years later he posted in it saying "I did it"

I am one of your supporters but you do seem to have missed the entire point of my advice. STOP SEEKING EXTERNAL APPROVAL.
Also, if you do want to get titled, even CM, you need to play OTB.
I just got a 1700 rating and I think I can hit 1800. Am I looking more like a possible future grandmaster now or at least worthy of a title? I am undefeated today going from 1650 to 1700 and since I beat a couple 1700 through that journey I believe I can hit 1800 now.
everybody is so concerned about being a GM lol.my goal rn is to just hit 2000 lol. If I do, I'll go from there but I play chess because it's fun and interesting and I don't need a title to tell me that.
Stop playing blitz and using it as your main rating. If you want to say you have a 1700 rating to be a master, then go to whatever lengths necessary to play OTB routinely. (And no, a school chess club doesn't count as OTB, you need a club with mainly adults.) and if you can't play OTB play rapid.
Also amazing job on your progress! Well done and you should be thrilled with yourself!
But remember to try and keep your hopes realistic.

I understand. Thanks guys. My first goal of course is to hit 2000. GM is just a dream, but I know it is still unrealistic. I just wanted to tell everybody that I am getting much better very fast.
Well done and keep up the good work, however....
When I was young ( a long time ago) looking for praise for my achievements, a wise person (probably a bit tired of my frequent bragging) told me - "when you are good you can tell people - when you are really good they will tell you"
Wow actually that is very true. I wasn't bragging though. I am simply asking if I am good. If I was bragging, I wouldn't ask I'd just tell.
