Others’ attitudes toward you change as you do.

When Napoleon returned from exile, a Paris newspaper reported it this way: 1. The monster from Corsica has landed at Juan-les-Pins. 2. The unspeakable man-eating tyrant is advancing on Grasse. 3. The despicable traitor has entered Grenoble. 4. Napoleon Bonaparte has occupied Lyons. 5. General Napoleon is nearing Fontainebleau. 6. His Imperial Majesty the Sovereign Emperor arrived in loyal Paris today.

It’s completely normal for others to doubt you—you haven’t proven yourself yet.
