The question above is debatable as equal amount of people say yes and equal amount of people say no. I would go with an answer which is totally different from both above. I would suggest that you should be yourself. You can't satisfy all the people but you can satisfy yourself. So work on satisfying yourself and not others. You work on yourself and your work will speak to others about you. Now people may take you for wrong or granted and try their level best to hurt you. If you get hurt by them and stop living your own life and keep thinking about theirs then that's your call. If you don't get hurt by them and continue in your own life it's also your call. I'm no one on the opinion of what you should do. But if I would've been at your place I would've done what's correct as per me. And as per me the correct thing is  not to concentrate on the lives who think negative about you. Do your work effortlessly and your work will speak for you in front of others. The people who think negative about you may also change after seeing your work. But yes never stop being what you are. If you feel you should think for yourself go for it. If you think you should think about others go for it. Go for whatever you are. If you think you should change go change and if you think you should be the same you should be the same. But mark the words "you think". Don't change yourself if others think you're not perfect. It is because you live for yourself . The other person won't come and live your life for you. But yes if you think you work can also benefit others then don't hesitate to bring it out and in front of others.
At the end of this short write up, I believe that you've got the answer to the titled question. If you still haven't got the answer then you should think of each line of this write up and then you will definitely get your answer.
