Except when they try and get a job, be part of a social group or are in any sort of leadership position.

Everything in life is better when you’re a team player.

Which is why I said the rest sounds bad. But being a step ahead of your peers is something else that makes life better.

Try that with a romantic partner. Not attractive.

In a leadership role, being exasperated by half the team? Not motivating.

Also, the premise is that you are ahead of the bunch. It's also feasible that you are below the local average, and have no experience dealing with that situation. Takes guts to persist in that situation, but that's where you learn a lot.
