You don’t need to get over that Thing, you just need to become so Emotionally Ripped that you’re hench enough to drag the weight of it around more easily.
I like this sentiment, but no matter how ripped you are you’ll still never get as far as you would have without the weight or as far as your peers who don’t have it.
The “you’ll still never” sort of sentiment implies that like 90% of humanity is worthless, recursively, until like only one person counts, so while it might feel very real and pressing, it’s actually somewhat nonsensical.
Better to cultivate a bit of detachment to that feeling of internalized hierarchy.
If possible, focus on becoming rather than might-have-becoming. You don’t have to succeed in the same fields and in the same ways as everyone else. (Honestly that’s part of why I’m here blogging.)
Also @wirehead-wannabe I have no idea if you consider me “successful” or “look-up-to-able” or whatever at all, but definitely I’ve had issues with might-have-becoming, and the reason I can even draw things and make 3D models at all (or post weird politics) is because, under might-have-becoming, I followed a path that I should not have followed.
