I love this thread.
Life is so complex. Your choices and actions are determined by so many events and emotions. So are people's perceptions and reactions. You can't control other people. It's impossible. So work on putting that energy toward being the most authentic person you can be.
Spend real time figuring out your values, your passions, your interests, and your dreams. Align your life and work with those and work hard not to let other people influence your behavior too much. If you are not authentic, the people you really care about can see that.
Keep your focus on being the best person YOU want to be. Ask yourself all the time, "Am I being true to who I am?" Then you will attract people who appreciate the authentic you.
