[quote=Anonymous]OP, you can't argue people into valuing you or what you can do, just like you can't argue them into being attracted to you. The most you can do is be calm, non-defensive, and supremely confident in yourself, and let the chips fall where they may. But you can't force or convince them. Sometimes people even see that as weakness and snub you for it. It doesn't help. Just be really good at what you do, know it, and come at life from a center of that knowledge. This is going to be a bit sappy, but there's phrasing from a novel I really like: "Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself ... Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will." I find it a comfort, sometimes.[/quote]
