How do I stop caring so much about what others think of me? I just keep ending up feeling depressed and rejected
Just delude yourself into thinking you have a higher opinion
Channel the Donald
When I was young I was like you. In the years I met all kinds of different people, some of them belived I was a retard, some believed I was a genius, some that I was cool, others that I was boring etc
To draw I conclusion, you cannot trust others on having a reasonable opinion on yourself

Look up noah elkrief in youtube. Pretty useful advice.
One thing I learned that has helped me a lot is realising that the 'me' that exists in their minds... is not 'me'. If they think I'm stupid, if they think I'm this or that -- if I was no longer those things, would 'I' still exist? Yes. So 'I' am not "stupid". 'I' am not "lame". These are labels affixed to a mental perception in the minds of others. I am not thise things. In a billion different people I exist a billion different times. None of thise are really me though.

Also very useful. Thanks
You can't.
You'll always in some way care about what others say about you.
Get that under your belt and you're in the path to give less and less shit to what others says.
Work on your testosterone level. Lift, go outside, take supplements, whatever. You gotta do something, man.

There's no secret.
you just take a look at what others say and judge wether it is worth to take it or not.
