I try not to put too much importance on the opinion's of others. It doesn't matter if they are laughing at you or if they're not, don't care about it. It's them Not you. They have the problem.

Ask them if they are laughing at you, the best way to solve this one is to confront it, if they were laughing tell them you don't appreciate it and wish for it to stop.

For me if it is not meant to be mean I laugh along with them. Otherwise, I will tell them that what they are doing is upsetting me.

You first have to answer the question, why do you feel that people are laughing at you. This sort of negative thinking, which could be classified as Rumination often has an underlining cause. There are techniques out there to help manage this however, I would suggest definitely looking into it.

I get over that feeling by smiling and pretending I'm alone, or surrounded by friends. I also look at the situation to see if people are laughing at me or something around me!

Self-assurance. When you know your worth, everyone else will too. Own your personality! If you doubt yourself, others will too.

I laugh back at the person who is laughing at me, I tend to think nothing of it and move on with my day ~

Most people only focus on themselves and their appearance when they're out. They probably didn't even notice you, let alone they're laughing at you. There is no spotlight on you. People are never laughing at you. You're safe outside.

I personally try to keep my mind focused on the facts when such feelings arise. I mean, most of the time, if you think about it, that feeling turns out to be based on nothing but one's own insecurities. There often is little to no evidence for people actually doing that.

Laugh at yourself as well. Recognize that life is a serious thing, but doesn't need to be taken seriously all the time. Recognize the funny and enjoyable things and laugh together. Words can't hurt you, only your perception of those words can, so let potential negativity roll off like water off a duck's back. Let's all share a laugh!
