I have this bad habit that I care too much about what others do when it really doesn’t affect me. I don’t show it to others at all, but I have to deal with this thing all the time. I also want to stop caring what my parents think about me. It’s like, I do a certain thing, i feel good, but then I get the stares by my parents, and i suddenly feel really bad and want to stop it and totally regret it.
Likewise, when others do things that may not necessarily be considered “normal”, but doesn’t affect me and they don’t hurt anyone with it, I always tell myself I don’t care, but deep inside I care a lot, but I don’t want to care.

2 things, first, you need to focus on things you can control, other thoughts and actions like staring that you can’t control just don’t care about that. Focus on what you’ve just did, be happy about that, try to think about how you can Improve the next time you will do it. It’s really like a muscle that you need to train.
Second, Imagine you see a guy with a licorne mask, naked, running across the road while singing Britney Spires. You will forget about him maybe 3 minutes after seeing him so now when someone see you doing something, know that they will forget about it even faster.
Train your brain to focus on things you can control, even better if those things tend to improve your life.
