Whenever I'm the center of attention in class, like when I answer a question or am asking a question, I start blushing really badly. I'm so embarrassed by it, then I just make it worse by worrying about it. Do other people think it's bad when you blush? Do you think the teachers think I'm odd because I blush in class like this? Should I even be worried about this?

God knows how many times I had to go through those kinds of situations. One time in a Portuguese class my teacher noticed I was REALLY red (I felt extremely hot [], as if I had fever or something and knowing I couldn't just leave the class made it even worse). She asked if I was ok, and it was "nice" of her to ask me, but damn... Every single person in that room was staring right at me and my head was about to burst.
At that time I wasn't even close to knowing I had SP, and I had no idea why the heck I got so nervous.
I remember this other time I blushed badly in history class when my teacher asked me a question... God, did I hate when that happened. The problem is I knew she always revised what she had talked about in the previous class and I never knew when it was gonna be my turn. I just closed my eyes and crossed my fingers so it wouldn't be my turn. Of course, that day came eventually
I sincerely don't know what other people think when they see you blushing. Some may think you're atracted to them; others may think you're just feeling hot (flushing instead of blushing); others may think you're actually sick, etc.
I can't tell you how the hell to deal with it either, so sorry
I'm the same way you are. I always wonder if everyone in my classroom think I'm some weirdo for turning absolutely red for no apparent reason, or if they even notice my change of skin tone at all. But, to tell you the truth, I really don't think they care all that much. So try not to let the fact that people are watching you turn red make the situation worse!
It's really hard to tell yourself to stop blushing when your teacher decides to call on you to answer a question. So I'd love to know how to supress it, too.
first of all, just deal with it. I mean seriously, theres a part of you that always has to feel bad for yourself, to keep trying to solve the problem. Many experts say "try to imagine this", or "pardoxial whatever intentions method. These can be helpful and stuff, but sometimes you just have to say to yourself "screw blushing in these types of situations". Like if you sitting in class and the teacher calls on you and you stutter before you say the right answer, you may blush. Just say to yourself "you know what, i dont really care anymore, blushing has ruined my life for the past 328597324980years and im not gonna let it defeat me.
Never forget, you have the power to change anything.
Now, you can either fight blushing like that, which works for some people, or you can do this. The real way to defeat an enemy is to find theyre weakness. Now blushing has a weakness that most people dont see right away. Its just to not care anymore. Some people have the power to change it easily, some people can cure themselves. Others might need some help. Dont screw yourself with medication:not the route to go. Go to <www.hypnosisdownloads.com>. Go to self improvement and then cure blushing. It may seem like bs at first but im telling you, the power of it is incredible. Me being a freshman in highschool, i had blushing problems before. I used to blush in church, and usually any other social place you can think of. So far, after just listening to it twice, i never blush in church anymore. In school, its not completely cured yet but theres an improvment. A big improvement.
I dont know about you but i would pay $9.00 to fix all the embarrasment of blushing. Good luck.

Thats crap, you cant stop blushing by teling yourself to not blush *rolls eyes* the best i can do is concentrate on something, like tapping my foot, breathing deeply pushing out my stomach and if need be lie on my schoool desk lol, boy it sucks
I think that's wonderful advice. Whenever i am in an uncomfortable situation i usually tell myself.... "I have a right to be like everyone else, i have a right to be "normal" and i basically dont care what happens... It works and then sometimes when i forget to give myself a prep talk lol then i can blush. Basically, what i think causees my own blushing problem is my lack of confidence, and the cure for that.... i believe.... is to rise up and be strong. Look people in the eye when u talk to them, talk loud, be friendly... thats basically my problem, i quiver and try to be as silent as possible, but when someone talks to me ... BOOM red red red red red. I mean, i sometimes still i go slilghty red, but really now.... if peopel see a person with a red face, but with a strong personality who isn't acting really quiet, it'll look normal. If you're trying to not be seen, you will be seen.
And whenever i do blush, i just face it... this is me.... whatever, it really doesnt matter. I've seen people with really red faces before i had my own problem, and i didnt look twice.
I think the best thing to do is try not to focus on it. The more you focus on it the more you will blush. People may take notice for a minute if they see you blushing, but a lot of people do it so they probably don't think much of it. I blush everytime any attention is placed on me, but I'm very fairskinned so my face gets red for any reason. Like if I'm hot or angry so most people just think I blush anytime I feel any type of emotion or they think I get angry a lot.
That is exactly what happens to me too. I just got so obsessed with it now that when I am at school it is all I think about, I just go bright red when I talk or read in class or just randomly when the teacher is talking or when I'm eating lunch. I think obsessing about it has just made it worse because I'm always expecting myself to go red but I can't stop thinking it, believe me I've tried to concentrate on other things but I can't. Just try not to think about it before you get trapped like me.
