How to not care what other people think??

I have suffered with anxiety for years but more recently I have been playing over every little thing I do and say when I’m out with friends or family. For some reason I am so worried about what they think of me. I cringe so hard at things I may have said that could come off as embarrassing. I know I shouldn’t care but I find it so hard to empty my head of these thoughts and over analyse any conversations I had that could make me look bad. Does anyone else feel like this? And any tips on how to not care what other people think?

Just be authentic.

I’m worried that my authentic self isn’t nice or good enough :(

I hear you. Not found an answer but I find CBT techniques on managing worries help a bit.
