Filtherton, I believe your mother and father deserve a great deal of recognition for doing such a spectacular job in rearing such an upstanding individual as yourself, and if it wasn't your parents, then who ever did so, and If you did most of the self rearing, then you deserve a great deal of credit for your achievements.
Tell me, if it was your parents, do you feel that deserve some credit, and do you think they would say, Oh' we were just doing our jobs....... of course they were, still they did an extraordinary job, more than you can recognize as it seems life has come pretty easy to you, your achievements anyway.
When you meet in life with something that does not come easy and you tackle it anyway, will you allow yourself to take the credit and to recognize that you deserve it and by accepting that credit you are in no way belittling the efforts of others who do or do not achieve.
This isn't about comparison and the ease of existence, it is about self confidence, and age will bring that without the fear of losing your humility. It is o.k. to be proud and to take credit for your accomplishments regardless of if they were easy or not. If you really want the sense of self worth, push yourself harder, but be prepared to slip a little and understand the humanity in that. You may be just living the Filtherton life, but the Filtherton living it sounds pretty praise worthy to me.
