I don't know how old you are, but worrying about how I am perceived by others is something that has gradually dwindled over the years....Not saying I never have anxiety, but I honestly do not worry too much about what others may think or how others perceive me.
Friend, the only One you should be worried about how they perceive you is God, and He can perceive you so much better than other people. And, He is more gracious and merciful than people are.
So, just try to tell yourself that what you are doing is between you and God. That maybe might help.
