im thinking the best way for you to "improve" yourself is to remember that opinions are like noses & that everybodys got one. its your life to make your own choices on how to live it and its not at all a factor in how you do that just because there will always be other people who will always either agree or disagree about how you chose to run your life. quit thinking that other peoples opinion of you is something important enough for you to even be wasting your time worring about. if you are happy living the life you choose to life carry on & enjoy living it .. if not then make whatever changes to it you you decide to make to in order to be happy living it.
make your own choices in order for the life you life to be comfortable for you & you alone to live it. there isnt a living soul around that knows what suits you best and what the perfect fit for you is exxept you.
