Hi @zord189. Thanks for your post. Everything you say is true, and that you are slowing learning this is a sign of your growth and maturity. Lesson to be learned above all else in this world is that:
You can't please all the people all the time
Once you realize this, you can go about your business of being you. And they should go about their business of being them, instead of worrying about what you are doing.
My mom told me once that if YOU are not doing anything, then people won't have something to talk about. But when you start doing things that others aren't, then, as she used to say, tongues start to wag, lol.
Have a great day and take care.
