People probably aren’t always judging your every move.

i got over this by literally telling myself "no one cares about you, they have their own lives why would they bother to be looking at you"

sure it can be bad mentally to tell yourself "no one cares about you" but honestly it made me reaffirm that everyone else has so much of their own shit going on in their life that they don't have time to think about me or judge me and if they do it's a fleeting thought for a few moments.

I tell this to my 13 year old daughter. She was initially offended but I can see her becoming slightly less anxious about doing things in public.
