My guess is that being a big fish in a small pond for most of my childhood is on net beneficial for me. If I were to hazard the effects, I’d guess the effects are something like greater overall confidence (particularly on intellectual matters), greater self-identification with intellectual matters, worse overall sociability, increased ambition in some ways and decreased ambition in others.
