I attended a crowded public event today and for the first time in a few weeks i was able to instantly ignore about 5 instances of negative voices and intrusive thoughts, and continue having fun 😃 
It's a small win, but it feels amazing knowing that i can control all the time without exceptions what i want to think about and how i want to feel.    
After reading posts on this reddit for a few weeks and realizing that i'm not the only one struggling, it helped me a lot to fortify the beliefs that     
1. i'm going through an illness that is hopefully temporary.  
2. voices are not real.    
3. people can't read minds.   
4. no one is watching or listening to me against my will. I have full privacy.   
5. all the past judgements of public were imaginary  
6. no one in public places knows who i am or will ever meet me again.    
7. voices, intrusive thoughts, paranoia are a self inflicting torture that has no place moving forward.      
8. Being able to instantly BLOCK negativity instead of letting it affect me is a blessing.     
9. i should find ways to stay happy no matter what is going on in my life.
