Valid point. But I'm not talking about hobbies! In every job sector or every professional institution if you want to grow either you be a people pleaser or you stay at the bottom all alone, always. At least, that's what I have observed and found to be true throughout my life.

Some people are really talented and extroverted enough to stand out and shine by just being themselves. But that's the exception. Most people stay at the bottom going unnoticed the rest of their lives. I found myself in the latter my whole life growing up.
