["People can give me all the bullshit advice they want on how to live my life and how I need to know my place in society....but I'll just smile and nod because I only trust my instincts and am have ridiculously more freedom, money and happiness than I've ever had before"]
Good on you. You need to be comfortable in your own skin and its not other people's business to tell you how to live.
If there's one thing I learned it's to trust my own judgment and mine alone.  Forget what the haters say and just keep grinding toward my goals
