I understand... I get jealous responses and reactions every day. LOL! My own co-workers are always wanting to put me down. Why?!?! Because they know that I'm really good in what I do, intelligent, professional, and always carrying a postive attitude.
In your case, it's very similar. I bet you're an overall achiever. And you don't rub it in peoples' faces but "somehow" they get offensive because you are competition in their eyes. Naturally they compare themselves to you... I don't know why... So, don't worry... Although people's jealousy is right awful. Try to avoid conversations, social gatherings, and etc together. Whenever I'm surrounded by peers I usually know someone is out to get me. They want to know all about you and then sink into your weakness later. These people are manipulative and crazy. Just get away from those type of jealous people. I personally had to deal with one before... Currently, I'm dealing with 2 "less" crazier people... I truly hate going to work because of them. But oh well, I still carry on with my excellent personality. WHY? Because I know better and I am better. Dang, that sounds a bit conceded...
Good luck though. Whenever you want to let your frustrations out you can chat with me. I understand... =)
