I don't know if you actually can. I think that you should focus on gaining more confidence so that even if they are actually laughing at you, you are also having fun. What works for me is that i try to ignore them. Normally i feel so self concious.

You don't always have to know what other people are thinking of you. If you feel that someone is laughing at you, force your mind to think that they're laughing with you, and not at you.

What i did was just know that there probably also worried about being laughed at too. And remember you are strong and can do anything you put your mind to.

One solution to managing this quite stressful feeling would be to acknowledge that others are probably more concerned just as much with themselves as you are with yourself. Another would be to accept that as their choice and realise that it doesn't make them correct in doing so or reflect badly on you.

Try to think rationally. Search for the reasons you think they would be and challenge them. For example, "they are laughing at me because im dumb." A challenging thought to this would be "how do they know that? And even if they do think so, why should this effect me?"

I act more goofy and do ridiculous things, that makes me feel I'm in control of the situation. By doing that I know that now they laughing because I'm making them laugh. Also I start to feel better when I think about the positive side of doing that, I'm making people around me forget about their worries and troubles for those few minutes.

by building self confidence. Read a lot about how to have self confidence. Workout, look buffed and confident. eat right and healthy. The point is to get yourself to have this feeling that you're doing the right thing, so people won't have to laugh at you, and if they did, you know deep down in yourself that you're better than them.

Simply by not caring about them or their naive acts. Continue to be you, make sure to be at your best version of yourself and slowly you will be the one laughing at them

That's life. Everyone finds reasons to laugh at someone. We cannot control how others behave but we can take control of how we respond to the situations. If we love ourselves and are confident about who we are as an individual, no pity critique or gossip/treatment by others will effect us.

I normally just laugh it off if it's something silly I did, but if they're laughing at me for no reason I get a little frustrated and embarrassed. However I realize what they think doesn't really matter and I'll get over it.
