This is what I was told.
Realize that not everyone will like you. No matter what you do, some people will never like you. Your job is to please God. If you do please God, then the residual effect is that God-loving people will respect you. That’s all.
Choose to worry about things that you can control, rather than things you cannot control. All troubles can be classified into 2 groups. Controlable and non-controlable. I used to worry about the weather. Then I figured out that I could not control it, so I don’t bother anymore. I don’t even carry an umbrella lots of times.
Above all, think positive. If you are able to imagine yourself as doing good works and knowing that you are able to perform to the best of your ability, you will. God tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves. But do we really love ourselves? We must in order to fulfil God’s will! After all, we were made in the image of God. Shouldn’t we at least be able to find joy when we look at ourselves in the morning?

“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds”
