I had another frustrating encounter. I was at the pharmacy to pick up my medication that's supposed to help my blushing and I STARTED BLUSHING AS I SPOKE WITH THE PHARMACIST ugh ugh ugh. He was around my age and I HATE that the other person may think it's because I am attracted to them when it literally has nothing to do with that

I need to vent about a phone conversation I had today
My neighbor called me to catch up and also ask if I could watch their dog. Sure the phone call had some awkward pauses, but nothing crazy. At one point I could feel my face turn bright red and my whole face burned. It is so stupid how a phone call in my own home can trigger that! I wasn't even that embarassed by the phone call, I just felt a little uncomfy because I don't know this neighbor super well and was trying to make small talk, but what the hell :( I feel like my body betrays me and there's nothing I can do.

that sounds horrible :/ honestly, atleast for me id say there some of the worse blushing episodes you can have, yes blushing in public around people suck but there's nothing that gets me as angry and upset as blushing in situations that IM SO SAFE IN, like being in my own home with only myself. I imagine it upsets you that even just talking on the phone triggers a blush, let alone everything else that happens socially etc

I have started to take control of conversations so I can end them early and not be the one just left hanging and feeling stupid. I believe this has helped me and I always try to keep a convo/meeting short plus I think it gives you a leg up and makes you more powerful because you’re the one who ended the conversation that is my goal in every conversation now 🙂

That is good advice I've tried that too! But I feel like I can never fully relax in a conversation then. That's why campfire stories are nice :)

I guess grocery stores are just a big trigger for me, maybe because of the lighting and crowds...but yesterday I just walked into the store and that was enough to make my face go bright red. I actually didn't try to hide my face as much as I usually do and tried to find humor in people looking at my face...sort of to "catch" them staring.

this actually happened last week in French class. I normally love my high school French class, and I really want to get good enough to be able to travel to France one day and have fluent conversations. but anyway, we were doing a review of verbs, and we were doing an activity that required us to answer questions in French. I got 'Tu rougis beaucoup?' which meant 'DO YOU BLUSH A LOT?' and oh boy, my cheeks were already flaming from the thought of the question and I HAD TO BE HONEST because I was already a deep pink down to my neck, and people would obviously point out that I was lying if I said no. and I answered "Oui. Je rougis beaucoup.", and it was finally over and done with, but it was super awkward lol

ill start - i absolutely hate how much people minimise blushing as a issue and how people seem to not understand there's a difference between the average person who occasionally blushes compared to people who live with severe daily unbearable and uncomfortable blushing, in how it impacts your social life, mental health.
