no matter the type of people you mingle with there are always people that will try to pull you down in the journey of life, and people are not ready to lift you up when you fall.
you have to try not to fall and not to anticipate to the noise and distractions of people, because people are ready to distract you intentionally or not intentionally one way or the other they don't want you to get higher than them no matter who you mingle with.
Yeah everybody want to win. Because of ego nobody will agree to be defeated so don't trust anybody just do your things on your own and let it be between you and God and don't depend on someone because that person will surely fail you because the person will not want you to be greater than him
