not completely, although there is some truth to this.
The example of guitar vs piano isn't far off from my real life experience. Neither one has more status than the other in my view. In fact, I'd argue pianists seem to have a higher 'status' in contemporary and historical viewpoints.
However, I realize I do enjoy feeling and explaining the blood+sweat+tears behind an obtained result.

Maybe you subconsciously want other people to be impressed that you have a rare skill that few possess. But it doesn't really sound like you have an actual problem anyway. Doing tough things because they are tough and interesting is a fine way to live, it has a lot of upside.
