The more I've climbed, the stranger people act around me. There's more deference now, more careful distance, more of them deciding who I must be before I've said a word. I got exactly what I worked so hard for, and yet I feel more alone inside it than I ever expected. People treat the success, not me, and I miss just being talked to like a regular person.
More people experience this than they realize.
Your success changed how people treat you, and it's left you unexpectedly alone.
