I WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT WHAT PPL THINK!!!!

I MEAN, I MAKE A LOT OF MISTAKES BUT STILL... WHY AM I SO PARANOID? IT AFFECTS EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE:
- I over-think what i say to ppl now... it makes a conversation and ppl start thinking of me as a jerk. Example: I always think what the person is really thinking about me when I talk to them... I act unintentionaly mean and they consider me as a horrible person.
- I am so bothered by what other people think that my school and work are all affected.
- I hurt inside and try to hold it all in... ineveitably I blow up and hurt other ppl... cycle continues.
- I always bring myself down... I noticed that ppl jump at it, and they become more and more comfortable in harassing and making fun of me. So rather than fixing the problem, cus i am worried about what they will say... I LET THEM CONTINUE.

HELP ME! My life is affected by this principle.

Meditation? Repetition of a few words? Hypnosis? I don't care... I am willing to do anything to fix this ASAP.
