I think "stop caring" is just bad phrasing even if the intent is good. "stop letting random third-party remarks/opinions/attitudes steal your joy or rob you of your confidence" is closer but it's not exactly bumper sticker material. I think OP is right to desire more confidence and desirability, especially through cultivating more mental resilience. "being more masculine" is a fine goal for a young man as long as you don't fall into the trap of slavishly mimicking some self-help guru's advice or acting out of fear.

@DMLoosey for someone like OP, that's definitely true. After a weird personal experience irl lately I've learned some people are really naive and take it at face value if it isn't spelled out more.

@littlegreenclementine I like that a lot

@9core neuroticism can be encouraged, though. indoctrination to believe avoidance is preferable to most forms of risk is a great start
