I think there's a healthy hue somewhere in between those two maybe. Like my family are my biggest cheerleaders, and definitely incepted me with the idea that I am special and can do anything.
But we never talked about being rich, famous, or compared ourselves to exceptional figures. Probably some working class self leveling behaviour at play there, but it left me feeling I could do anything, but not like it was expected.
I wonder if this desire for fame or absolutely recognition is more a phenomenon in the U.S. I don't know anyone personally who actually desires it.
