I am a simple word.
To me, add a single letter, and it will make the opposite of me.
To me, add a different letter, and it will create my homophone.
To me, add a different letter, and I won't be so good.
Can you guess?

If the title is meant to be a constraint to the type and location of the letter addition, may I strongly recommend you make that abundantly clear. Right now the puzzle per se only requires adding a single letter, vowel or consonant, at any place in the word - which may be your intent, but given the title I suspect not.

An alternative answer to those already given
Nob = a person of high social position
To me, add a single letter, and it will make the opposite of me.
Noob = a person who is inexperienced in a particular sphere or activity, especially computing or the use of the Internet.
To me, add a different letter, and it will create my homophone.
Knob
To me, add a different letter, and I won't be so good.
Snob = a person with an exaggerated respect for high social position or wealth who seeks to associate with social superiors and looks down on those regarded as socially inferior.
Title
It has a vowel in the middle.

If the title is meant to be a constraint to the type and location of the letter addition, may I strongly recommend you make that abundantly clear. Right now the puzzle per se only requires adding a single letter, vowel or consonant, at any place in the word - which may be your intent, but given the title I suspect not.
