I've Depression, Does That Mean Status?
Super successful people can also struggle with depression, as status is relative and people acclimatize to it easily. Individuals compare themselves to those around them, not distant figures, making high-status individuals vulnerable to mental health issues. A wealthy person living with lower income could suffer mentally. Comparing one's status to others can lead to genuine suffering, regardless of external appearances. It's important to have empathy for super successful people and avoid morally judging their struggles, as everyone's experience of life is relative.
