Answer 1

Theres a difference in being self concious and being aware. Being self concious will bring you down cause your constantly criticizing youself. But being aware just means that you understand the circumstance of your actions. So be aware in situations, for example if you say something stupid then laugh at youself. Everything is OK no one is out there to get you. Trust me everyone has more on their minds then just you, they have their own worlds and own problems so dont worry what they think cause chances are whatever it is they forget it fast. Once you can grasp that concept you'll be a more true person. Always be honest and kind and there wont be much to be self concious about instead others will be more self concious of how they might treat you.

Answer 2

Stop thinking so highly of others...People are human, they ALL make mistakes...Its the best part of life...its what we learn from...Truly to make a mistake, or to be embarrassed isn't a life altering moment un- less you let it be!....Don't think so highly of yourself and know that most others are probably not thinking of you one way or another...We have few intimate relationships where others care and love us, the rest we are just passing through...Get on with it, life is to precious and short to concern yourself with what others think!!!
