I'm struggling with how your so-called success (which seems far fetched since you refuse to accept interviews for fear of rejection) will actually "get back at" others.
What is the scenario you envision? Don't you think it is sort of narcissistic to imagine that strangers will be affected in any way at all by how well you do? You are not that important.
Perhaps the same reason that you want revenge is why they rejected you in first place. Success means different things to different people. Even the rich; successful often end their lifes in suicide.
Newsflash--we've all been wronged. We don't all walk around seeking revenge. I know that's what they show in the movies, but some of us don't find that kind of thinking sexy, we find it petty and not conducive to a peaceful, beautiful world. Yes, there is bad in the world, but you have a choice of what you are contributing to society and the world around you.
If you want to continue to voluntarily hold yourself back then so be it, good luck, pick up your socks off the floor, turn in all your homework if you go to school and turn the lights off if you are the last one out.
PS ~~ I wish you all you deserve in this lifetime but please refrain from complaining when you get it and don't forget to put your trash in the receptacle placed at the exit door, under the light switch.
Everyone I know who threatened to become successful to "show people" didn't succeed. As a result, their motive for wanting to be successful seemed to be a strong indicator that other people were right about them.
"I want to be successful" So I can eat well, make a better life for myself, help those that are less successful than me and help support my aging parents when they are unable too.
Funny thing though, those people probably won't care if you are successful, unless they rejected you solely because you weren't successful, but whatever works for you.
Yes and no.
If I see some girl I rejected because she was fat, and later I find out she's a supermodel, yeah I'd pretty much say that she got back at me even if she doesn't realize it. In fact back in college when this fat girl really got into me and would hit on me constantly, I never went out with her. Later I found out she became a hot cheerleader. Definitely kicking myself for that to this day. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

I'm sure women who rejected Bill Gates are still kicking themselves.
This is assuming that the people who rejected you care whether or not you succeed. I frankly don't think they give a damn, and once you realize this, you will be forced to find a more positive form of motivation, which is better for your health.
