Mindful thinking usually helps me.
I enjoy the idea of not taking anything personally, including things I say to myself at times, I sometimes feel that our biggest critics and monsters are found within the walls of our own physique, my belief or how it works for me is: I attempt to give yourself a break every so often about things, the past and ground myself to the present, take a deep breath and relive the moments of the day, the week, the hour and trying not to worry, those have been or are the key to my process of how I see and experience life.
Now, I have slight agoraphobia and other situations going on, so I cannot accurately say I am someone who'd know more about it, but I can safely tell you that humans tend to forget that we all look at everyone as a mirror of ourselves at times, and if that image doesn't fit, then that image starts to frustrate us, it's easy to categorize people and that's not fair to you, your mirror is your own image of yourself, what others have to see in you isn't going to make you any less or any more, it's all about how you feel and if being in a box you don't find fitting isn't what you want, then don't get in the box.
Everyone is taking their own road, remember that your own is going to be just as or more, maybe less wonderful but it'll be your own, and worth it.
Hope this helped.
