1. Recently I sabotaged myself by going away to get some food and

little time to set up in a relaxed way (I won't do that again)
I know this one well enough that I now have a strict pre-gig policy.
I politely tell people that I have a pre-performance meditation that helps
me to perform better and it involves not doing anything or hanging out
to distract me from what is
to come next. I tell them that I'd love to hang out with
them after the performance is over and I've put my gear away.
Put this way, I find that people are generally supportive.
The people who aren't tend to be narcissistic and a bit emotionally
vampiric and
I try not to worry about them being upset or judgmental of me.
