If people are always going to hate you, then why bother trying to make them happy?
Make decisions to try and improve things. If people lash out, and have a legitimate reason, then listen to that reason but if it's just 'we hate change and we hate you', then just tune them out. Constructive criticism can be a big help in improving yourself and your works, but there's a different between constructive criticism and hate for the sake of hate.
