As people grow in their successes of any kind, their capacity and opportunities to capitalize on the luxuries of their success also grows.
However, when successful people begin to capitalize on their successes, there is a spiking effect in both directions.
Some observers of the successful may be impressed and give the individual praise / respect / power, where as others will become envious of the other's success (or perceived success) and rationalize a way to diminish effects of their success and general value.
You either get others talking about you positively or critically when you're someone who actually does shit for yourself - people will either love you or hate you for it.
I see two ways to deal with this polarizing effect.
1). Don't spike - try and ride the grey line. Less risk and less reward, unless you pull of being super subtle and low key about your capitalizing. It's a proactive option do avoid the polarizing all together, but also less attractive / more difficult to take this road.
2). Spike hard, and ride it out just as hard. Fuck the haters, and however they twist or blow up things you may or may not have done. The right people will still fuck with you. And if they don't, find new friends in avoidance of negativity anyways. There's plenty of girls, and plenty of cool guys out there.
3). Moderation?
I'm pulling all of what I just wrote from my own observations and experiences, as well as ideas directly from a GC podcast about social circle game. Open to any comments or additions. My two main questions about this dynamic are:
Is there a better way to be proactive that doesn't include being so low-key?
If not, how does someone stay subtle when capitalizing?
