It matters not what you are thought to be, but what you are.

Reputation is a picture other people hold, assembled from fragments and updated slowly. What you actually are is the thing that shows up when nobody is assessing you, and it is the only part you have direct control over. Managing the picture is endless work, and it tends to hollow out the thing the picture was supposed to represent.

Notice where you are spending effort on how something looks rather than on whether it is any good. Put that effort into the work itself for a week. If the reputation lags behind, let it lag, since it eventually follows what is actually there.
