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

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.
