So, I saw this on GAF, I thought it was really interesting. It's a comic from Davey Wreden, the creator of Stanley Parable, in which he describes how fame and recognition isn't necessarily a medicine to someone's own insecurities. It seems, as usually said the problem is within ourselves, and we shouldn't search for validation of ourselves in other people.
Also, I'd like to say that this don't seem like someone bitching about GOTYs, by the opposite, he's just expressing his feelings how his insecurity is reacting to the recognition he got with Stanley Parable. As he said:
Here is the comic:

I thought this was pretty enlightening to some of the insecurities that I have.
