It sounds a bit like you personally reached high status, then discovered that status is hollow. Was that a big part of it?

Do you think you would have been as disappointed if you had ignored your goals and settled for a more “normal” life?

>personally reached high status

when 'high status' is the benchmark, there's going to be an element of let-down & disgust with one's self on arriving.

i'm seeing less and less smart people think in terms of status.
