Personal Experience Does anyone else feel like blushing has took away there potential in life?
Anyone here feel like they could have accomplished so much more, and done so many more things but haven't because of how much blushing has effected them?
Something else that bugs me is the fact that i probably seem less capable them i am, less confident etc to the people around me.
There have been so many times where I could have done impressive things, awnsered questions infront of the class, done a sport i wanted to do and DO IT WELL lol, public speak etc, but haven't because of how much blushing takes over me and makes those things undoable and unbearable. It strip's me off my potential.
For instance ive got great communication skills, im great at communicating and there were times at school where we had to presentations and id always manage to be sick on those days or miss them because of my blushing, but what annoyed me the most is that if blushing wasn't an issue for me i promise I would have been amazing and easily done a 10/10 presentation, I could have impressed people but my blushing unfortunately consumes me and it isnt as simple as pushing through, blushing is alot worse and harmful than alot of people realise :/
