You can't do both

Galatians 1:10 Obviously, I'm not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ's servant.

Pleasing God means living a different life from that of the world.  It's spiritual to please God. It takes Faith to please God and that is foolishness to the world. The life to please God is where you forgive endlessly, give endlessly, love whole heatedly, serve Him wholly etc. This is exactly contrary to what the world does.

You have to take a stand this year and choose one life to live. If you choose to please men, you can't live to your full potential of what God has called you to be. Whenever you start to develop fear of what people will think or say about you, your developing a fear of man. Your focus should be on God and not men. 

The Bible says we should look unto Christ, the Author and finisher of our faith. Christ has already spoken good things about you. He has placed His fullness in you. Why do you worry what man can do to you? You are complete in Him. You don't need man's approval if you have God's, live entirely for Him!
