You might go through life thinking that your peers have high expectations for you, and that they will actually be disappointed if you don't succeed at a high level.
The opposite is closer to the truth.
In reality, people resent you for being 1% better than them in any demonstrable way. They will do mental gymnastics to try to discredit you when this happens.
Your friends, your coworkers, your neighbors, your family, your exes and especially your colleagues here will absolutely hate any shred of success you demonstrate that shows your achievements, and they will hate it with a passion.
See Tom Brady and Deflategate for an example. Or Donald Trump winning because of "fake news". We have sore losers of literally epic proportions still whining about both.
So you invented a rocket that will fly you to the moon? But wait, you didn't floss today. Yeah, we only like scientists who floss you see.
Remember: it's you against the world. Other men will never like the fact that you took the women they wanted away from them.
