Seems like you might be living in a bubble. Guess what - you don't have to have won the startup lottery to have personal autonomy, be financially independent or build a strong reputation.

Your reasoning is this:

I am extremely clever and I have a certificate to prove it!

I have chosen an extremely lucrative career.

Why don't people see how important I am? Where is my respect?

And then you say things like "I take pride in resenting those with undeserved success", "They're a cancer. I'm the chemo." and "most of [my failures were] not my fault".

Do you think statements like this foster respect for you?

Would you respect you?
