Accept that people will always have opinions
Separate your self-worth from other people’s approval
Focus on what you can control
Clarify your own values and priorities
Make decisions based on your goals, not on approval
Limit comparison with others
Notice when you are seeking validation
Practice saying no without overexplaining
Spend less time with overly judgmental people
Build confidence through small actions
Keep promises to yourself
Let uncomfortable feelings exist without reacting to them
Remind yourself that most people are focused on themselves
Stop replaying conversations in your head
Use criticism as information, not identity
Take action even when you feel judged
Dress, speak, and act in ways that feel authentic
Reduce social media use if it increases comparison
Surround yourself with supportive people
Practice self-compassion regularly
