“Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying changing others.”

You are who you think you are; but also, you are a role model to others, what they really think about you. If everyone around you will start treating you badly, ignore you completely, then you need to ask yourself: who I really am?  

But if, people treat you honorably, as an important person and like your presence, then this confirms your beliefs about who you are and how you accept yourself.
