One might think that he has some good reputation in this world just because of how much he is respected by his fellow humans, but none of that will matter anymore on the day he meets his Lord with a horridly black and dejected face. "And He whom Allah humiliates, none can give him honor" (Quran 22:18).Point is, that doesn't matter.
Okay, fine. You think that is special pleading but I don't.
It doesn't matter who Allah/Yahweh/Christ/Mohammed etc, etc, glorifies and/or condemns. If the person sees no inherent value in themselves, their assessment is rendered worthless, same as any other person's assessment.
Just be happy and content being you. That's life's easiest and hardest lesson to learn.
