I hate to be the "Anti-Self-Esteem" guy here, but:

What if they really are better? In every sense? Not relatively, but absolutely?

People talk about the "Oh, everyone has skeletons in their closet", but what if there are a few people that don't?

Don't throw shit on someone else so that they will stink like the rest of us.

It gives me a renewed sense of humanity to see people better than me. I want people to be better than me. I am not perfect (by a long shot) and therefore having people around me that are high-achievers is refreshing.

Hang out with people better than you. It raises your game. If you are hanging with a bunch of deadbeats so that your ego will be satiated, you will quickly find yourself a deadbeat. Don't walk down that road.

Fuck, if I am the best at anything, and I mean anything, then this world is in a whole bunch of trouble. I am average, which means that I am better than half of the people I meet, and I have the privledge of meeting my betters the other half.

Dare to be Average.
