You must fly as though you and the heli are invisible!
Forget who may or may not be watching you.
Wait until you feel comfortable with your TOTAL situation.
I have similar "exposure" to others and have learned to focus on flying only.
You can do it.

I try to "ignore" people who are watching. The only problem with that is if they start to approach, I want to be sure to avoid them. You are right, just concentrate on the flight and don't worry about the audience.
