I intend this as a nudge for you to introspect, not as a criticism. I've shared your perspective before, and have found much more satisfaction in looking at my own behavior to understand what of my experiences were true facts, and what were stories that I told myself.

For me, the reality was that my ego needed the boost from my perceived superiority. I had little else in my life that I Was proud of. Looking back, I understand how my behavior was an expression of a great deal of talent plus insecurity.

I've spent a lot of time working on myself, and my career and life satisfaction are significantly higher because of it.

Yeah, no, I think you're misreading my comment.

I probably should have mentioned somewhere, I'm not that talented. I've worked enough places to know I'm just average. My apparent special ability is in the long hours department. If I commit to doing something, it's getting done, to a fault. I've been this way since my teens, staying up for days without even realizing it while figuring something out.

I'm already too introspective, you have no idea.
