Thing is, it's not about being "the main character". Some people had a really rough time in school and for them it can feel that they're being judged by others even if most people aren't. Childhood trauma and psychological conditions are really complex and even if you can "logically" reason something to be true, your anxiety and your emotions are really really good at convincing you that your fears aren't unfounded.
No one is looking at you, you are not the main character. You're just a background NPC to them.

Yeah school was awful for me. It took me a while to get comfortable in public spaces because of anxiety.
