There are increasing levels of involvement:
people who don’t do it at all
people who tried once, then abandoned it
people who do it once in a long time, just to remind themselves how it feels
people who do it as a hobby
people who are obsessed by it
people who do it as a profession
So maybe the first question is which group you identify with or where you want to get, and that determines who you should compare yourself to.
