Compare yourself to yourself.

How many times have you been intimidated by someone who holds a higher societal position than you? Whether it's a "higher-up" at work or anyone else who has a "bigger" job or higher salary, we all feel puny in comparison to someone else at least once in life. But why do you feel that someone with a more impressive job title or fancier car is better than you? At the end of the day, that person goes home to a family life just as complicated as yours, maybe even more so. He may be surrounded by leather seats and a stereo system, but he still gets stuck in the same traffic jams as you. And he may very well feel intimidated by people who occupy a station above his.
