What kinds of things are you self-conscious about? Try a little positive self-talk. And change your thought pattern. For example, if someone tells you "your socks don't match", instead of getting embarrassed and flustered (which is probably the reaction that the heckler hopes for), say to yourself (and the heckler) "oh well, so what if my socks don't match? The fate of the free world doesn't exactly depend on my socks matching." Do you come from an over-bearing family? Something tells me that you do. I can relate to that, and the answer is to try and adopt your own mindset instead of conforming to theirs.
