It always seemed to me it was because I messed up the curve. I wasn't 
hated for being good at math when I was in AP Calculus where everyone 
was good at math. I was hated for being good at physics because I didn't 
have to do more than one homework problem from each set to know I 
understood what was going on well enough to ace the tests.

Everyone can play football at some level or another. (And yes, you can 
be disliked for not playing football too well, if someone is required to 
put you on their team. :-)

The thing is, the people who are good at football don't compete with the 
people who are bad at football. But they have to compete with the people 
who are good at math and science, or they don't graduate grade school.

Think about college (university?) - did anyone dislike you if you aced 
all your math tests? No, because at that level, they weren't required to 
take the advanced math classes you were taking.
