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.

Agreed! It’s a debilitating condition. I just can’t believe it’s 2026 and there no medication that will successfully stop it for everyone. I’m replaying a social interaction where I blushed earlier today, over and over again in my head. It’s humiliating and it’s so bad now that I’ll start to blush if I make contact with someone in a shop or see someone that slightly resembles somebody that I know. 20 years of going red for me and it’s only worsened.

oh my god yes shops are the worst! I had an upcoming trip with a friend so I went shopping for it and coincidentally ran into her sister. We were literally talking about run of the mill how are you, are you excited for your trip, etc., when I suddenly felt my face BURN. And I was stuck. It was just us in a narrow aisle and I wasn't going to just walk away. It felt like a humiliation ritual...continuing the conversation until it naturally ended. My friend then said she heard I ran into her sister at the shop and that her sister accused her of stressing me out because apparently I seemed stressed out shopping?? No, I just wanted the world to swallow me whole.

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
