My coach said something like: Focus on yourself. Don't care what other people think. If someone laughs at you, then great, it means they are not focusing on themselves and you will have an advantage. If someone thinks you're a looser, it doesn't matter, you can still have a happy life, while others are occupied on trying to look good, you can spend that energy on improving yourself to reach your own goals and desires. In my own coaching I try to make sure goals have intrinsic motivation, not based on what other people think. For example a bad motive is "I want to have big muscles so others will respect me", vs a good motive is "I want to have big muscles so I will feel better about myself". So don't have a party just to show off on Facebook how a good life you have, instead, forbid cameras and enjoy yourself.
