{ thing, person } を 気にする
気：consciousness, attention
にする：make something into, choose to
literal translation：make {it} into attention
nuance：
I choose to pay my attention to it. It is something that I am aware of/ anxious about/ mind. This is rather voluntarily and intentional.
grammar： する is transitive hence を is used
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
{ thing, person } が 気になる
気：consciousness, attention
になる：become, come to happen
literal translation：{it} becomes attention
nuance：
It catches my attention. It has become something that I am aware of/ mind. This is rather involuntarily and automatic.
grammar： なる is intransitive hence が is used
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
「気にしないで！」⭕
（ Don't worry about it! / Don't put your attention on it! ）
This is telling you to not pay attention to it.

「気にならないで ！」❌
This is wrong because 気になる is involuntarily. You did not choose to do it and cannot control it. This sentence does not make sense.
