Nobody has told me I've changed. What's happened is that people are more respectful or fearful of me. In one circle of friends, two of them (brothers who are legit psychopaths, so we aren't really friends) wouldn't stop ripping on me for years. They're big guys (so am I) and took advantage of their strength in numbers. Now...they don't look me in the eye. You know there's a change when a f'n psychopath can't stare you dead in the eye (because that's what they do...it's a dominance thing for them). That's was the final confirmation of my change.
