What path should I take | Choosing next sub(s)

Sounds Like OFv2 would be a good choice to run first. It's going to deal with all of your fears in general and can help with dissolving the rest of the anxiety, shyness, and fear of expressing yourself. It may help with the fear that may drive you to be needy as well. 

What I'm curious about is the roots of your obsessive drive for status and how you are being seen. could be a legit drive or it could be rooted in something else.

On one hand it is a legit drive. On other hand, I guess it's coming  from the need to be validated by others (women especially)

Yeah, that's what came to mind when I read that so OF may help with it if its based on fear.. LTUv6 has modules that help with self-esteem and I found that it helps a lot in that area in my experience.
