When I look at the people I follow on social media, I feel bad, because they're much nore successful than me, often even much younger too.
When I look at the people I meet in my daily life, I'm doing quite okay.
I haven't set an alarm for work in years, can buy what I want without too much consideration, mostly work when I feel like it, and the work I do is often interesting.
And then I left.
Read your comment. You're fine! You're more than fine! To thine oneself be true.

You are doing better than 99% of people who have ever lived!
They got thousands of followers, people actually engage with them, their opinions are valued, etc.
I dabbled in thought leadership for a while, with a PR agent, and its nice to have a voice and really awesome google results but I didn’t/don't like being considered like a journalist on rare occasion
In unrelated anonymous profiles (lifestyle/wealth/meme/model pages) I have used followers and engagement as currency. As in used to obtain goods and services. Its great because you never spend it and it works worldwide.
But I prefer just having access to experiences without undermining my ability to obtain goods and services, food and shelter in the future. I mostly have that, and there is very little limitations I will consider in achieving that. It sounds like you have that.
