Re: Blushing and university - totally despair
I also went through blushing anxiety, began when I was a teenager and lasted for years for me simply because I was so overwhelmed and embarrassed by it. I would blush everywhere and anywhere, even in front of family. If I had to order at a restaurant, just talk one on one to someone, anything really and some people would point it out, saying you've gone red, and that to me was the worst, I would go even more red. I started to wear the invisible zinc tinted daywear which concealed it somewhat, but what really got me over this was just not caring if I blushed and to just let it come and do its worst. It still happened for a while but I gave it no extra fear or thought. By not caring anymore, it rarely happens now. But yes, it was horrible, absolutely horrific, and I stopped socialising and doing anything at all.
