thin-skin meaning you care more about what others think so care more about climbing social hierarchies?

I was thinking more of imagined or actual slights festering and creating more stores of driving resentment to fuel you...

yeah that's basically what I was thinking. Most social climbing is built off resentment/disdain for others, "I'm better than you", etc.

A little more subtle than that I think. It's not real disdain. It's insecurity being over-compensated for by fake disdain.
