How do you get over a fear of having people looking at you/being the center of attention?

I don't have social anxiety, at least not to the point where I break down and can't function. I get nervous in some situations, but again, I'm able to function.

I just HATE being the center of attention. I hope having to raise my voice to speak to one person across the room and the entire room can listen in on the conversation. I just hate knowing that everyone can hear what I'm saying. I hate having all eyes on me.

I'm wanting to get into a career in healthcare, namely a job as an EMT this summer and I will undoubtedly have people look at me as I work.

How the fuck do I just stop caring?

Practice exposing yourself to people.

I do that.

Well, I work a job that forces me into social interaction constantly and I'm around people all the time (retail). Yet, I still feel that sensitivity towards having all eyes on me.

I'm fine with a one on one conversation, but suddenly when I'm "on display" and I have a group of eyes on me I begin to feel uncomfortable. Not necessarily nervous, but I get a sense of extra insecurity and that everyone is hanging onto every word I say and reading into it, which is obviously not true but that fact doesn't really change the way I feel in the moment.

It's like during that time I feel on edge and am basically living my life like I'm being recorded on camera and I'm mindful of every little nuance and action I do and how my voice sounds and dips with every word.

I just become a colossal cluster fuck of insecurity and self scrutiny and can't be at ease.

I had the same issues when changing schools, OP. Like everybody had their eyes on me and constantly judged me for the each inhale and exhale I make. But that anxious part of me slowly died off when I got used to the people in my class and got to know them a little.
But eh, getting to know everyone is almost impossible while dealing with customers at a retail. Maybe imagine them being your long-known friends? Remembering that the customer you're dealing with will probably never meet you again?
