For the most part, those who's opinions concern you have their own character traits. For example someone who is optimistic is going to see the good in people. Pessimistic will see the bad. People who sacrifice themselves will see you as sacrificial and get angry when you are not.
So you see, to a certain extent it doesn't matter much what you do or say because people generally see what they want to see, and those insignificant actions you are so self-conscious about shouldn't be important at all.

why do you care about what other people think or say? I taught in Yemen, and i took my students to the market for a class, and they said "teacher we can't walk with u because you're a women and people will start talking" I told them that all people talk about each other no matter what, and they don't know that I'm your teacher, and it's none of their business anyways. No matter what you do, u can never please everyone and i learned that the hard way after getting physically and mentally burnt out and put down, so now i don't care what people think, I'm my own person I'm confident about me... I'm my own person... don't base you on other people, because you're only trying to change the real you

You have to break out of your comfort zone. Force yourself to do things that make you uncomfortable because of what people think. After you do this a few times you realize its not a big deal and most people don't give a crap what you do anyway.
What people think doesn't really matter in the grade sceme of things. Is this persons opinion about something you do now going to matter to you a week from now? A month from now? A year from now?

Don't worry about it,keep in mind everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.It shouldn't matter what people say(they will have you running around like a chicken with his head cut off).

Instead of looking inward, (what do they think of me, are they laughing at me, ect) look outward.
That girl is scared to death. I wonder if I could help her find her way around the school.
That guy looks really shy. I'll say hi to him.
People who are self confident see others. And actually listen to others. And help others.
