... or just communicate in English like a normal person?
What is a "normal person"? Most people on the planet don't communicate in English.
100% of the people I talk to speak in English. I don't need to know fancy languages to feel successful, actually I never had any viable reason to learn them.
I'm not saying they're fancy, just that there are more people on the planet that can't speak English than people who can.
Also, most people on the planet speak multiple languages. There are even less people on the world that only speak a single language than there are English speakers. So, if anything, speaking just a single language, even if it's English, is the abnormal thing.
Lastly, it's not about "feeling successful", as you put it, but about being able to communicate with more people and being able to enjoy more things.

That's your opinion.

Like I said earlier. I don't have any reason to learn Spanish or whatever if I only talk in English.
Languages were made to communicate with others. USA resolved that issue.
