You don't have to tell people to f-off and the like.
Just become aware of when you are becoming concerned about what others are thinking. List what your options are in your head for the situation and what taking those options is motivated by (i.e. you really want that answer, or its because of what other people think) then go with the answer that isn't motivated by the idea of what others are thinking.
Trust me, most people aren't even paying that much attention. As a species we are very self involved.

Ah, but actually, you can control how you think. You are reacting to others' opinions of you in the way you are because you have been somehow conditioned to respond in the way you are responding. Your mind can be re-tooled. The key is to go back and find out what is at the root of your need for others to approve of you, and correct that thinking, and replace it with a healthier view of yourself. It can be done, and it takes time, but you really need someone else's help, someone you trust, that can be objective.

You cannot control your thinking, so what you do is try and live for yourself, have self confidence even if tincy mincy bit, you will realise that you can face others... then you dont have to worry about others opinion, when you have your own..just fight your way to surface

By gaining self confidence in yourself. Be proud of who you are and to hell with what anyone else feels.

Find a hobby, your passion. Make your self happy. When you are happy, you won't need people's approval.
