When I was younger I would blush a lot when asked questions by the teacher even when i had the right answer. Now i can talk about most thing but still blush aged 48

Hello Anne thanks for getting back to me. Would you consider yourself as having a blushing phobia ? or do you just blush sometimes. I worry even before the blush which brings it on, so have a real fear of blushing . Some situations are worse than others. I seem to be worse at work. Strangely once the blush has happened I am ok, its like I have to get it out of the way !!! I blushed at school and think one teacher helped to trigger my phobia as she used to single me out for it ... nice eh !! x

I blush easily too, I seem to have flushes every few minutes. It sometimes makes me feel really uncomfortable and saps my confidence as it can happen if I am talking to someone or just standing there listening. Some people notice and comment, some don't. Like rose12 once the blush is out of the way, it's a relief. I think I'll always be sensitive about it though because it's such an obvious symptom and other people can read too much into it. I think that teacher was so insensitive and not very intelligent!

Hi Green grape , I am glad you understand and I am not alone in my thoughts. I wouldn't mind having anxiety if I could hide it but yes blushing is just so obvious!! I have spoken to people who admit to having the same inward sensations but just dont show it outwardly, and I think .. lucky you ! I think it is worse when I blush infront of a man incase they think I fancy them and most of the time I dont !! Thanks for your comment chat anytime x
