I don't know if this will help people...but my way of dealing with it is "I just don't care". People told me D&D is for losers, I don't care it's fun. People tried to pressure me to drink alcohol and do drugs, I don't care I have not and I will not do it and I am happy for it. I go my own way and it has brought me success.

At the end of the day you gotta do what is best for you. Hear the advice and opinions of others but don't let it pressure you into doing something that is not who you are or want to be (at least as long as what you want is some sort of success). And if someone is holding you back from being successful and happy then I think changes need to be made to get back on that path.
