I’ve been called: stubborn as a mule, argumentative, a picky eater, antisocial, unambitious, and act like an old man even though I’m in my 20s

I first read “why” instead of “what”, and it got me thinking, why do I base so much of my opinion about myself on what others say about me? Must be something about being social creatures and survival through society or some such.
Anyways, I feel like there are few things I haven’t been called. To my face, I’ve been called argumentative, annoying, tiring, blabberbox, masochist, ignorant, dismissive, careless, dysfunctional, autistic, emotionless, ambitionless, indifferent, and even psychopathic, to mention a few. Nevertheless, I keep my chin up and try to do my best, ever improving, as that’s all one can do really. We’re not all compatible, and that’s okay.
However, I’ve also been called a lot of good things, which are important not to forget nor dismiss! Like caring, friendly, honest, hospitable, crazy (the good kind), unique, intelligent, realistic, disciplined, humble, responsible, and proper.
The other day I was told I am both 50 and 15, sometimes even 5.
