It's sometimes very easy for us to think things like this. I went through, and can still go through, times where I just know what others are thinking of me. But I remind myself that one, I don't have telepathy, and two, I can't really know what others are thinking just by looking at them. It's all a transference of our own insecurities and fears.
Here are some ways that I use to help me through these times, maybe something in them might work for you...
1. Focus on what matters. When you concentrate on what's important, you think less about your individual role and more about the bigger picture.
2. Remember, most people aren't paying much attention. People spend more time thinking about themselves than thinking about others.
3. Keep perspective. Another person's opinion is often based not on your beliefs and behavior but on theirs. What's good for them may be terrible for you, or vice versa.
4. You know best. Nobody else is living your life. They might have opinions or ideas, but the only person who knows what is best for you is you.
5. Focus on the moment. When you're fretting about what other people are saying or thinking, you tend to miss some very important present moments.
I don't know if any of these will help, it's always easier to see things when you're not the one dealing with them, but I do hope. Believe me, you're not the only one that goes through this. If you can, see if you can find support groups that help with cognitive thinking, you might be surprised.
Best wishes.

Imagine if you walked into a room and there was a sign that read...
"YOU MUST HOLD YOUR BREATH IN THIS ROOM OR YOU WILL BE SHOT WITH LETHAL FORCE"
Being in that room for more than short moment would become a problem really quick but once you left the room and exhaled you would be born again a new man.

Just one word of wisdom. While I know that it does happen, just remember that ‘most’ people are thinking of themselves and it’s usually all about them and not others. It’s a very self centered world out there.

Sometimes it's best to not read too much into nothing. Focus on yourself than others
