At times, it feels like society wants/expects everyone to be monotonous, predictable automatons... which I rather resist.
I have managed to just circumvent the entire issue. Whether that choice has been in my best interests or not is perhaps a bit ambiguous and uncertain. But at least I am able to examine that question against a backdrop of living authentically as MYSELF, rather than against some "societal caricature" of what "a successful person" is supposed to look like.
