In my opinion, the problem arises from the belief that "I have control over how others think of me."
One way to think about the nature of this question is to consider:
"Do I also believe that 2 different people will think the exact same thing of me in the same situation? What about 10 different people?"
I had a mentor who really worked with me to develop the belief that "what other people think of me, is none of my business." It isn't easy to do but for me it is very helpful.
