See...I think there might be a bit of a cultural difference at work here, as well, maybe, because -- there's a line in Fight Club, something about how we [presumably middle-class Americans] all think we can be rock stars when we grow up. And I'm coming from sort of the opposite place, where I was told over and over again that I was ~special~, and at the time, in most of my twelve years of public school, I was the big fish in a small pond...then I got to the real world and realized that oh, I really wasn't that special after all. And in some ways it's been utterly crippling, to go "wait, okay, I'm going to have to be a NORMAL PERSON?" and in some ways it's such a relief.

SO TL;DR I guess the short answer is I don't know, but now I'm curious too.
