How to develop thick skin

1. Here’s an important rule for life: It’s not all about you. To develop a thick skin you must first remember that you are not the center of the universe.

2. Here is the top secret, people are not interested about you, they would not think for 2 seconds about the mistake you make, they are interested about themselves. So people are not thinking about you all of the time.

3. Imagine your face is as thick as a concrete wall.

4. Read hero stories from the chinese version "Thick Black Theory". Or "Thick face black heart"

5. Your mistakes are not caused by you, it is caused by billions of other forces and factors you have no possibility of control over, including your personality. Read Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman.

6. Third person position as detailed in NLP (neuro linguistic programming). Imagining you are far away from earth looking at yourself among billions of people, whatever happen to you on earth dont matter.

7. Kill your self doubt. Use will to think that no matter what happened or what you do, you are still perferct.
