Hiya,im 17 years old and am sick of this, do you ever ask questions of why me?! But really why me? Im not strong enough to over come this and am finding each day a struggle, i am pushing away my aunt and twin sister because i cant talk to any one with out my face burning bright red and i dont know why, i really want to sit with everyone and talk freely with out worrying, i dont want to wear a hat which at the moment makes me feel better, i want to make friends and go out, the sweating is on my hands but its not like anyone can see it can they? So why do i go red when some talks to me, the worse is dinner time, so i had small portains so i could finish quikly and not sit in the same room as people, so iv lost wieght and so much. im even to embrassed to talk to my aunt about it as i no ill go red. it rules my life, i reckon if i could get rid of the red face i would be able to feel confident! I tried to commit sucide because of it, and i need help, but a treatment or something to take away the redness, its all i worry about.
Thanks if anyone can help me i would be really gratefull, i want a life!!!!

As far as the blushing thing, i do blush as well...but i find as a conversation..or situation.. goes on..the blushing is worst right off the bat..then seems to get better. Maybe someone else will know more on how to help you with the blushing thing...but otherwise, have faith in yourself..maybe find someone you can trust..talk to them, write them a letter if it's easier..and remember you're not alone in this...most of us on this site feel the same way you do and can try to help Smile

I go red when someone I dont know very well or at all speaks to me, and also in a big group of people when the focus is suddenly switched to me or someone near to me, it's awful. Just the thought of having someone speak to me...ME scares me, why would someone want to speak to me? What have I done wrong now? Erghhh then the redness kicks in, that makes it ten times worse, having your own body rebelling against you. I havent got a clue what to do about it either, I just pray I'm not thrown into such a situation :S.

I often go red talking to people, especially when the centre of attention suddenly focuses onto me. It's so frustrating because it's something which you can't control and can happen completely unexpectedly.

Hi

I'm 33 and suffered badly from this type of blushing at 17/18.

My friends would chat comfortably with the opposite sex while I squirmed at the thought.

The good news is that you get older it will improve.

You'll mature and gain more assurance and self belief in time.

This thing is caused (although it's hard to believe) by recurring automatic negative thoughts.

Smash this process and you're on the road to recovery.

Try Louise Hay's subliminal self esteem tape for 10 days.

Trust me - this will change your unconscious thought process.

J

I am 44 and still suffer from this , it has affected my life and i,m sure i would have done better for myself if i did not have this problem , i have learned to " put up with it " , i avoid certain situations but i still would love a cure and keep on looking , good luck to everyone who suffers and to those who dont suffer from this part of our phobia , count yourselves lucky because it really is awful , you would not believe some of the things i thought about because of this problem
