The world is a valuable sounding board to improve your own self-awareness and identify your blind spots.
However the world can never understand you to the degree that you understand yourself - so we can often brush off those in the world as uninformed where applicable.
I value some in the world - my family, friends and other associates more than others in the world. Typically those that are emotionally invested in my life, or those that are financially invested but emotionally neutral (therapist, medical professionals, etc.) who are valuable expressly due to their neutrality.
For those that I suspect to be working against my interests or well-being, even under the guise of 'helping' me, I try not to spare much thought.
