Each person perceives what they will, based on their own experiences. I like what Mark Twain said. "People would worry less about what others think of them, if they only realised how seldom they did." I say, live your life in as much honesty as you can, and let others worry about what they perceive. If you are secure, and believe you are honest and fair, what you do is much more important than what anyone else might think about you. On the other hand, if they don't agree, or cast aspersions, they can always eat dirt and die. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
