easier said than done, but don't care so much about people judging you, etc.
honestly, people are gonna judge, ridicule and reject you constantly throughout life. it's the sad truth...

just surround yourself with people who love and care for you and are positive influences for you. but if you feel they will judge and/or ridicule you, again, blow it off. screw them. your feelings matter and you need to know that. your feelings matter, and you matter. just say what's on your mind, get it off of your chest and hear out the person's suggestions, opinions, etc. if they're suggestions, opinions, etc. are negative, walk away. have confidence & flaunt it!!!

The only, and best answer is: just be yourself. If you're shy, don't feel weird saying to people "I'm shy." Then you can be quiet all you want. Or if you wanna speak up on something, do so.

One thing that most people do, that I don't, and could never grasp the idea of, is caring about what someone else thinks about you. EVER. Saying something you didn't want to, wearing something, acting a certain way, just to be accepted or because you think it's what people want or expect of you. All I know is how I feel, and it doesn't feel right NOT being true to that. In every way. I will parade through life doing so: jobs, school, friends, family, anywhere else you could go & run into people, and those who are on board with what they see, will be my friend. And if they're not, or reject you, or just aren't interested, that's ok. Why wouldn't it be...? At the end of the night, I always sleep well, and sleep good, because I am comfortable & happy with myself because that's the person I am trustworthy with. Does that make sense?

And you won't hurt other's feelings if you're a generally nice person. Respectful. Friendly. You'll be fine :)
