Siddharth Rajsekar argues that being taken seriously starts with taking yourself seriously first. When you genuinely believe in your work and treat it with care, that confidence projects outward and others reflect it back. Worrying about external validation misses the point: the real question is whether you respect yourself.

If people don't take you seriously, ask yourself whether you take yourself seriously or not. It begins over there. Now, if you really value what you're doing, if you really believe in what you're doing, and if others don't take you seriously, then it's not going to touch you. Okay, the problem is not whether others take you seriously. The problem is whether you take yourself seriously or not. And once you get comfortable with yourself, taking yourself seriously in everything that you do, others will also take you seriously because you're a reflection of others and others are reflecting what you're thinking. So it's all about the inner game.
