The real question is, should you actually care about their opinion?
You seem to know that what they're saying isn't true, so you know it just doesn't apply to you and they're wrong. Just as if they called you a jelly donut...it's a silly thing for them to say because it does not reflect reality. In such a case, treat them as they deserve to be treated - ignored for being nonsensical. You don't have to fix them or their opinions. Let them sit there in their own ignorance/nonsense.
And, if they treat you this way, then why should you assign any kind of value to their opinion of you. By extension - a low opinion of you coming from someone whom you don't have enough regard for to value their advice is just an opinion to ignore.

Indeed, and what people say about us isn't much of any reflection on us; it's more a reflection on them. It's none of our business what other people think of us; we have no direct control over what they think or say, so it's not our responsibility to be concerned about it, only how we decide to respond to it, if at all.
