Let me say this in another way - Are you ALL IN with what you do and who you are? Are you ALL IN doing it for YOU? If so, it doesn't matter what anyone else says. I know this is a slight deviation from the whole 'respect' discussion, but we constantly here talk about focusing on ourselves to grow. If you had that internal $hit figured out, you've already won. This is a hella painful way to learn that lesson, but we've all lost our way and our identities and the BD is a symptom of that. The only correction is not to undo the past or BD, but to reclaim ourselves. That is the way out.
LH19 has probably one of my most favorite tag lines here and it's from Will Smith - Don't chase people. Be yourself, do your thing and work hard. The right people - the ones who really belong in your life, will come to you. And stay.
