A 10x shouldn't be ashamed of their talent or try to be something else; the biggest problem with 10x talent is that they are mismanaged in a way that doesn't treat them as the benevolent freak that they are. In some cases other folks are berated for not keeping up with the 10x; in others they drown in trying to manage the technical debt being created by someone who produces an order of magnitude more than them. When mismanaged, these effects on the rest of the team lead to a drop in morale and turnover... which will likely lead to management coaxing the 10x to deliver even more which only makes the problem worse.
