I am not in an environment right now where the classical status hierarchy is given much importance to but the self-validation scripting seems to enable me to rise equal to any crowd, I am not confined by status nor do I try to live above others. I seem to approach people more as equals right now, no matter who they are. If I meet the king of Spain I would not feel less than him and if I meet a beggar on the street I would not feel more than him. Especially with higher status people it is easier to confide with them because they trust anyone who feels secure within themselves.
At the end of the day status is just an illusory concept made up in the minds of everyone. We are all human beings, irrelevant of living circumstances, we all deserves to be treated properly and with this thought in mind I approach everyone with the same amount of respect, no discrimination.
But to have that self-validation also gives you a certain security within yourself and will affect how others approach and treat you.
In essence, I do not feel less around royalty nor do I feel more around peasants. Just feeling absolutely fitting in any group of people. This is how it should be imo.
