I live in a city with two elite universities (guess which one). They're literally all around me.
Getting into either of those is my definition of "uber successful", with many of them being more successful at 17 than I'll ever be in my life!
- eggsbenedict 6y agoWeird definition of uber successful. They'll probably have steady employment but their mental health/personal anguish is probably distributed similarly to the rest of the population
- lowiqengineer 6y agoI have steady employment too. But I don't have society giving me unlimited external validation. Instead, people think I'm subhuman for where I work and went to school.

People are incalculably more likely to be indifferent to you than to despise you. More people don’t care about you than have any opinion whatsoever about you.
