Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:11-12
The fact that we are being persecuted proves that we have been faithful.

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted 2 Timothy 3:12
It is going to happen. You are going to be misunderstood, looked down on, broken, talked about. The only one you need to worry about pleasing is God. Keep living your life like you know you should.

I found this statement in a book the other day. It kind of goes with what you are saying. We should worry about pleasing God and not worry about what others think.

Believers could accomplish much greater things for the kingdom of God if they didn't care who got the credit for it.
