I'm 42 and still have a problem with turning red at inopportune times . People are always asking me if I feel alright, and giving me weird looks. They probably also think I drink -- lots of people get a red face when they drink alcohol.
I'm 41 and am still blushing. I thought that I had stopped as I hadn't noticed it for many years until a couple of years ago when someone asked me a perfectly innocent question in work about where I was going for holiday and I went red. This has stopped me applying for loads of jobs that I know I am able to do but am scared about going red and losing my confidence.

Yeh it started for me at 12 years also. I blush when I'm anxious, so that is often. I'm 36 years and these days focus less on my blushing generally but do have nightmare situations that can set me off big time. I've found that when I focus less on blushing that I develop other behaviours like shaky hands when holding a drink, or my emotions go out of control.
I haven't taken CBT seriously but see that this has been a very big mistake on my part. I know that if I'm too busy to think or focused on something else that I don't think of blushing and am less likely to blush.
I´m 31 and blush sometimes. If it happens at work, I hate it. There is a co-worker, and it seems to be a learned behavior that I blush if I see him all the time. I think its because I blushed once when he was in the room and now it happens always when I see him. I hate it. He probably thinks I like him. Well I do, but there is no f... reason to blush. Or it happens at a Restaurant...and I´m there with my boyfriend and there is a cute waiter. I think that my boyfriend thinks that I find the waiter attractive, and this thought alone makes me uncomfortable, because my boyfriend is the only one for me! My boyfriend will ask me why I blushed, and I reply with, its kinda hot in here ...haha...it´s a freaky mindgame I wanna get rid of!!! There r situations when I expect to blush but I dont, e.g. in front of a class for a presentation. Maybe more interaction with people will help, to "train" the brain to be more relaxed...
