I don’t think it ever 100% goes away, but age & experience go a long way towards that. I’m 32 & have been pretty indifferent about it for a few years now. Just be confident in yourself & understand that people who try to shame you or put you down don’t fucking matter & they know it. I think we build it up to be way worse in our heads than it is & we unknowingly project our insecurity. You’ll notice how differently people treat you when you’re truly confident in yourself.
