Is this an actual thing you think about and act on, or just that, following your nose, you have wound up pursuing things other than status?

Both but more so following my nose I'd guess. Pursuing status is conforming ambitiously ... and I find conforming really disappointing for some reason. It gives me none of the feelings I want to have about myself.

It's funny where you can wind up, if you just keep taking small steps toward things that seem harmless, e.g., enjoying that you're a big deal and doing stuff that would make you an even slightly bigger deal. Years later you look at yourself and find that you've become a monster. Or, less dramatically, a douchebag.

With some pain, I'm imagining being a big deal and wanting to be a bigger deal ... but holy shit I'm in a prison made of other people's perceptions.
Terrifying!

We all are prisoners. The only question is how well we recognize which prisons hold us.
Or, as DFW said, everybody worships.

Experiment everyday on everything.
As long as you have even a little spec of interest just jump in and try what you want until you're exhausted.
Every little skill, good or bad, useless or not, become a weapon at your arsenal when you need it.
If it goes well, a day of fun on something seemingly stupid might turn in a life changing opportunity.

I knew a guy that would take advantage of the zero interest balance transfer. He kept spreadsheets of all the credit cards he had to manage. I don't know how exactly he did it but after a few years he told me he managed pay off his home loan.
Unfortunately, he lost most of it in a bad divorce, spending it on lawyers.
