It boils down to: Do what you want to and what you need to.
Everything else is up to everyone else.
They can take you or leave you. Like you or dislike you. But this is the same of everyone in every setting.
Stop worrying about what you expect other people, to expect you to be like. And just be you. Who else can you be?
