"You will never truly know what other people think. You should try and base your self-worth and self-image on something a little more tangible.

In other words, you may just want to screw what others think and build strength of character on your own principles. In doing so, the right people will gravitate to you naturally and the others will fall away into a dull noise. You may find yourself alone at times, but that solitude may be just what you need anyway.

Life is never going to be fair and comfortable. Find pleasure in the small things and learn to appreciate the unbelievable opportunities you already have. Appreciate the friendships you do have and cultivate new ones, but don't base your own value on their success.
