You interpret the good in people until a very good threshold when you are sure they are evil.
Most interactions with people and their intent and goals have a reason and a goal that is neutral to good. Very very few are evil.
Even the reach for popularity is not in itself evil.
Let those who wants to reach for popularity do their thing.
And you do what you want to do. Their reaching for their own goal doesn't hamper you from doing your own goal.
