This is exactly what I do. I ignore people who reject, shun, and judge me when I present my real self to them. I mean, there's no benefit for me to attach myself to friends or romantic relationships with people who want me to change for THEM. I'm not changing for anyone. And neither should you.
Do not waste another second accommodating other people. Either they accept you and like you for who you are, or they won't. Stick with the people who like you and accept you and dump the people who expect you to accommodate them by changing who you are.
