Looks like you already know how to stop caring sometimes, now just stop caring all the time. The biggest part is to remember that people don't think about you as much as you think they're thinking about you.
Now the talking infront of people thing is a completely different issue, some people can naturally public speak. While others like myself it takes years or trial and error to be able to talk to any congregation of people. There is a lot of great books on this subject and most colleges offer classes on how to public speak that anyone can attend.
Good luck.

focus on being in the moment, and you'll see how your concerns about other's opinion of you is really just a silly distraction from what is

Treat it like acting. Thats what public speaking is all about. Don't take the shit seriously, but just get into the role. Same goes for most situations.

Any advice on how to just not care what anybody thinks?
Sometimes you have to care unless you want to bring unnecessary consequences upon yourself. We're social creatures and live in a social world. And while I understand the desire to just not give a fuck, it doesn't really seem a viable option IMO. There are however a lot of needless worries that can appear in thought. And it seems reasonable to say that examining thoughts and comparing them to the reality before you, or as guruu said, by staying in the moment, is a good way to sort out what is fitting and what is not. After taking the time to examine your thoughts, you can begin to be much more specific in what sorts of thoughts are working to help you, and what thoughts are hindering/hurting you.
Lots of recent therapeutic techniques revolve around not automatically identifying with thoughts and taking them as representative of reality. And that's because thoughts are not an accurate representation of reality. Humans are prone to exaggeration and the creation of stories that are only very loosely based on something real. For example, believing the thought that others are judging you even when there is very little or no evidence that this is the case can cause one unnecessary anxiety. Checking the thought against evidence can help to bring things back in line with what is happening.

1. Realize that what others think (unless it's people you love and you're putting yourself in a dangerous situation or something) is entirely irrelevant. It's all about what you think about yourself, and why you believe as you do.
2. I've always been a pretty decent public speaker, the key it to pick a friendly face or two and always maintain eye contact. A good attitude going into the speech, good posture, and speaking slowly, clearly and remembering to breathe help a bunch as well.

I think it's better to believe in yourself than to not care about what others think.
The end result is higher confidence, only the former is much more genuine.

exactly, focus on your self, not on others. saying "fuck off" mentally to everybody will make you an asshole, instead just believe in and listen to yourself...you really have no option but to do this if you wanna make it in this world

If you really want to not give a fuck smoke a lot of weed.
I personally hate society, Iv slipped away as best I could. To live in my own world is enough, so I say what I have to and leave

take lots of ketamine, the ego boost will do you some good, think of them as petty sheep, you are their shepherd, lead them
Ego is the best thing for not caring what people think, "who cares what they think, this is my show, its all about me"
works for me

You just don't give a fuck.
Worst case scenario you get beat up. If that happens you might still kick ass.
Best case scenario... you just don't give a fuck.
Me, I just smoked a few bowls and went ahh....

caught in a hustle- immortal technique
But you make success, nobody delivers your fate Sometimes you give and you take Since prehistoric vertebrates, crawled out of the lakes And thats the truth about life more to do with the ghetto than your car, rims, and your ice 'cuz even though we survived through the struggle that made us We still look at ourselves through the eyes of the people that hate us But ima make it regardless...
a lot of truth to these lyrics , I think of them quite often

i actually do care what others think, had that realization on acid. i want to be liked. but 90% of the shit people freak about...simply not worth freaking about. I just want to be understood by others, i feel that desire very strongly.
