And woe betide the person with the 'double abnormality' of a false self and 'a fine intellect' that they find they can use to escape their pain.'The world may observe academic success of a high degree, and may find it hard to believe in the very real distress of the individual concerned, who feels 'phoney' the more he or she is successful. [as quoted by Winnicott]
