It's an odd mix of being a bit more self centred and blind. You let others control what you do because of speculative thought, whereas in reality it doesn't matter - the added benefit that you aren't likely to even see and remember the people again.
I'm aware I am still moaning.
Easier said than done, but it's the irrationality that makes it harder to not worry about.
My example is that I never used to be able to bring myself to speak to drivers on buses if a single soul was on-board or even the driver for the same anxiety-based reason, now I can do it and the drivers often talk to me as I walk on. I don't care what my fellow passengers think or judgements they make of me and it allows me to do so much that I restricted myself from in the past. A perhaps obscure example, dunno if it helped, but hope you can somewhat relate.
