When Christ is everything to us we can walk confidently independently of the validation of others. Until we can get to the place of total dependence on the Holy Spirit we will be in danger of allowing others to dictate our path. There is no more joyful place to be than to be able to love people but never allow them to punish us into submission to their rules and their ways.
We must need Christ far more than people. Love them, engage with them, but never allow them to bully us into doing things their way that draws us away from the Holy Spirit.
Acts 5:29
"29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men."
