What is “society”? Either find a new “society” to surround yourself with or stop giving a fuck what people think. People will talk if they want to, it’s natural. If they talk about you, feel flattered that you made enough of an impact to become a conversation topic. It doesn’t matter if they express negative or positive opinions about you – in the end it means they saw something about you that gave them pause for thought. Think about celebrities with their marketing schemes. They do what will give them attention, and hopefully they can handle any criticism that comes their way. You should be the same. Either enjoy the attention, or dismiss it.

Sadly you’re right on the society level… that said, you need to be yourself… once you are yourself you’ll find company with others like you. I’m still working on that front just so you know. You can’t please everyone… it’s simply impossible.

We do not require the acceptance of others, but we must accept ourselves. One of those wise Buddhist guys said that, but I forget which one 😛
