How do I feel more calm while in a public setting?

I would personally try to rationalize all insecurities you may have about yourself. I think that it is very common for people to assume that everyone is judging them when in reality very few are judging because everyone else is busy being self concious

Practice breathing and relaxation techniques. Take a few deep calming breaths to help settle yourself. Find a buddy who can come with you that you can trust to help you leave if need be. Start with places that aren't so crowded, places you feel somewhat comfortable and work your way up to places more out of your comfort zone.

Look around you're setting. Think of how you would feel if you were the people looking at you. Take deep breaths and laugh a lot.

Maybe because you don't know any of the people, and won't be embarrassed if you do something wrong, or something that can embarrass you in front of people you actually know.

Breathe. Take a deep breath. Inhale every thoughts that make you feel calm. And exhale every thoughts that make you feel nervous. Imagine you're in a place wherein you're comfortable.

What helps me is thinking about things like what I watched on TV yesterday, or what I'll do once I get to where I'm going.

If you have an objective, like to buy some chips or give a speech, focus upon that. If worry kicks in, breath a bit slower and think positive. Some negative thinking that usually occurs are thoughts like "these people are better than me" or "they have everything good in their lives." Remember they have struggles just like you, so a bit of confidence can go a long way.

Stay around friends that will back you up when you need it or just ignore anyone that is mean to you. Brush it off as though it was nothing.

As a sufferer of anxiety, crowds scare me quite a bit. While this isn't a good solution, and certainly not a cure, I've found that having headphones on the move or a book when sitting help distract me from my worries. In addition, practice makes perfect. It sounds strange, but being in public will help you get conditioned to it; look up exposure therapy. It's frightening, but it's so effective.

B.R.E.A.T.H. When ever I go in a public place I just breath and relax so I don't panic and it worse.

For feeling more calm it is already helpful to concentrate on your breathing. Don't think about your surroundings, think about you. Make clear where you are. Breathe in, breathe out.

I always have earbuds in, even if I'm not listening to music so I feel more comfortable with myself; it also adds to my outfit.

Take deep breaths and zone out to a place or thing which makes you happy. Imagine your favourite musician playing in front of you

Often times being in public can distract your mind rather than focusing on whatever is troubling you

Visualisation and mindfulness can sometimes help. There are breathing techniques also, and often just focusing on one thing can calm the mind or having a safe place to retreat to when panic sets in helps.

Try some breathing exercises and think positive thoughts. Strangers don't hate you, they don't know who you truly all. All they know is what you look like.

Deep breathing and accepting the feeling in the moment can help...remember to be kind to yourself :)

If breathing exercises don't help: One thing that has helped me a lot, is by asking myself, "so what?" Inside of my mind, my thoughts race.. what if I have a booger on my face? what if they don't like me? What if I smell bad? (These are really things that I used to think about whenever I was in public!) But then, I started asking, "so what if I do? Who are these people to me? What is the worst that could happen?" I laughed at myself for having those thoughts, which puts a smile on my face and makes me appear more inviting.

i have ear defenders and i take my chewy with me where i use to calm m and also will be able to fiddle with. I also have a weighted hoody that works

Take a deep breath and make sure of your surroundings. Sometimes fears like that can come from not knowing where you are or how you can get back home. Be aware of your surroundings and always have your phone on you at all times.
