There will always be people you hit it off with and people you don't, and it sounds to me like you've had some self-worth issues because of your past, which might have made it harder for you to shrug off any negativity. However, just remember that the past is in the past, and what happened wasn't your fault.

Only you have the power to let someone affect you negatively, and you have the choice of being happy or not despite anyone else. Unfortunately, there are people out there who will feed off of your uncertainty and fuel it even more because it makes them feel better. The best thing you can do is to tell them to push off!

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, just your opinion. Forget the bad opinions and remember the good ones!
