What is happening to you is you are surrounding yourself with judgmental people. You are too worried about what the church and its followers will think of you. Follow your own path!

You took your eyes off of the Lord Jesus Christ. Here is what to do:
(1) Forgive yourself, and ask the Lord to forgive you, for any errors you have made, known and unknown. Then, thank Him. By Romans 8:1, there is no condemnation.
(2) Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you (near the end of Matthew 6). He will take care of you. He can give you favor.
(3) Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding. in all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5 & 6.
(4) God does not look on the outward appearance, but judges on the heart. Ask Him to begin to heal you of any unforgiveness you have- it will feel good each time you finish forgiving someone. See Psalms 139, the last four verses (and the whole thing is good). See Hebrews 12. Don't worry if it feels painful at first- ask the Lord to help you, and give you peace. take it slow. A good Christian counselor can help, here, too.
(5) Don't receive any negative statements about who you are. Receive correction, but not condemnation. There is a difference!
Remember to be patient with yourself, and with others. You might consider shopping around for a button that used to be on sale in Christian bookstores, that says, "PBPGINFWMY*"
(6) Praise and thank God in all circumstances, for the fact that you recognize your feelings means that he is able to refine you as fine gold. rejoice in this trial, for its end is endurance, and excellent character in Him, and hope will not be disappointed. Romans 5:1 ff; Philippians 4; Romans 8:28; James 1;2-3
(7) And, remember: God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power and love and self-control.1 Timothy 1:7

I think "Follow your own path!" is not a real help. Probably you should first discover, what the details of your problem are. Good description of a problem is sometimes already more than half of the solution. You discover more details of your problem with asking yourself questions, such as "Where do I feel anxious, where I don't feel that?" "What's the difference between those two situations?" and so on. But it takes times.
Was that helpful a little bit ?? :-)

You are now more aware of what & who you are.
You are now much more aware of how you think people are thinking of you.
Your friend was just trying to help you have more confidence in your self. It will take a bit of time to be comfortable with the new you.
But look at this as adding to you to make you a more rounded person but still being the old you inside.

Do a search for the term ' social anxiety' - it may ring some bells. From what you are saying it sounds like you are having some problems with anxiety. You can talk to your doctor about that and they will advise what you should do next.

you have insecurity .
You must learn how to not care about what people think, and whatever you do is right.
just reapeat that, whatever you do is right.
I don't need other people to tell me I am great. I tell myself
