Sorry to say this but all your advice is wrong and worth nothing.

You cannot solve the problem by the same thing that causes the problem.

You can't stop thinking by THINKING MORE!
All your advice suggests to change the way you think.

To not care what somebody thinks is to NOT THINK AT ALL!

You cannot do that with thinking more. So how to do this? In order to change your thinking you must DO something about it. Make some ACTION. I'll share a technique that has helped me A LOT.
This will need a little courage and time. You must force yourself to do it, but in the end you will be a changed person:


What you do is look people in the eyes.
Every person you meet during the day, at work, at home, shops, street look them deeply in the eyes for as long as possible. On a busy street don't even not look at somebody for a second . Constantly look at people. In a city you should get hundreds of eye contacts a day (I go out to the crowdiest place in the city).

The real purpose of this task is not to look in the eyes but to stop thinking what they think of you.
The reason why you are not looking people in the eyes in the first place is because you are concerned of what they think of you if they catch you looking. So when you look people straight in the eyes you are completely ignoring what they think of you.

Here is a tip that is very useful for me and will help you complete this. In order to do deep prolonged eye contact succesfully you must find a reason to make eye contact besides making eye contact! Don't ever think about making eye contact! So how?
What you do is get yourself into the state of... WONDER. This is the state that you were in as a child. Before you got any concepts in your head. Before there was a separation between you and other people. Before you knew that eyes look at you. You get into this state because of the reason you are looking at the eyes. My reason is to simply find out what the color of their eyes is. That's it, that reason does it for me. I just look at peoples eyes and I forget about what they think about. Other reasons might be: making statistics about eye color, checking if they will look at you, noticing the shape of the eye, trying to figure out their emotion from their eyes, trying to make a reaction like smile etc.
This takes practice. Commit it to it and some day you will notice you are not the same person anymore.
