There is an entity of this kind.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query. Anthropophobia or Anthrophobia (literally "fear of humans"), also called interpersonal relation phobia or social phobia, is pathological fear of people or human company. There is another entity called Fear of Success Phobia – Achievemephobia which is actually a very real social phobia. I think that what you are describing is a part of it.

Hi Dr. Saha,
Thanks for your response. I apologize in that I did not make clear that my question related not to an individual's own feelings about themselves but about their feelings toward others who exhibited those characteristics. Can you elaborate on this situation. Thanks!

Brief Answer:
cognitive behavioral therapy should help.
Detailed Answer:
Sorry for the inadvertent delay in responding.
I understand specifically what you are talking about. Typically it is not classified as a phobia. Nevertheless, it is a sort of aversion, apathy or even a sort of mental complex. Such a complex can be overcome and needs a systematic approach. It calls for psychotherapy and counselling. Sequential sessions would help you (or the affected person) realize the dynamics of the situation and to come in terms with it. Behavioral therapy, specifically cognitive behavioral therapy should help. Motivational techniques would also be needed.
