My version is a little more off than yours though. The fact that I got over defining myself by people or success very early, but instead my personality is so that I had drawn out what I wanted people to see to the point that it didn't matter what they thought, it was the facade of who I was to that particular person that I had to maintain it. It got so that I couldn't tell who I was simply because I was so many different things to so many different people. So where you were worried about friends and success, I was basing my personality on those different things and making people believe that I was what I wanted them to think I was. All of which left me with a decent job, a wife, and a few friends. I have since consolidated my personalities into 1 leaving life less complicated and probably explains why I have so little friends.
