My people, please I wanna ask , why do your peers (play mates when kids) tend to run far and avoid you when they sense you to be more Successful?

So I happen to be someone that gained admission into the university to study a professional course at a young age, graduated in record time... immediately I came back from service, got a good job with my state govt. The following month, so from all my peers (playmates as kids) I happen to be the only one very stable, (pay my bills, own a car, independent of parents) .
I got to observe all my peers avoid me, like today, was driving to church and saw one , stopped called him in our friendly manner, he saw me and immediately discharged me that he was rushing to somewhere...., and I see this always ... even my high school peers, many tends to avoid me.... when I suggest we hang out, if we eventually chat on fb, they always twart it and avoid me....
And I happen to be someone very easy going and down to earth....


So really wanna know why.....

my brother this happened to me too.......I guess it's bcuz they fear since you're doing better than them you will belittle them.

My dear, ur lucky it isn't even a sibling. Just stir the hate into a martini and drink with a slice of lemon.

TThanks my people for your responses....
