You have to just talk to yourself repeatedly. Shoot down your paranoia. If you notice those thoughts coming up, fight them with other thoughts. So, if that other jogger runs by and you think he's judging you, combat that with thoughts like "Why would he be paying attention to be? He's probably too busy training for a 5k run to be paying attention to a teenager like me" or something like that. Really criticise your self-conscious thoughts with pure logic, and never get wrapped up in these paranoid thoughts. The odds that they are judging you is very slim, these strangers probably couldn't care less about your presence, not judging you critically without even speaking to you yet.
