a wise friend of mine told me, "what other ppl say/think about you is none of your business."  i didn't understand that so i asked her, why do you say that? she responded, do u know what is truth about yourself and your good intentions? i said, yes. she replied, then it isn't of any importance what they do/say.
hope this helps you.
