Hi Herringman1. I'm sorry too! It's sooo damn stupid isn't it??!!! Go see your family! Go! They love you and want you to visit! F*ck being red! Go see your family!!! Allow them the chance to support you by letting them in on what's happening in your life. That's what family's for anyway.

Thank u Snow for your support..I thought i was the only one in the world like this until 2 years ago when i got a computer and started to do some research. Boy was i ever shocked to find that there is people all over the world like this...funny thing though is that i dont blush outside in the cold air..why is that???..put me in a warm room with people and i'm ready to fall to pieces if someone speaks to me..if they see u go red once then they start to look for it and that makes me worst..as long as i have an excape plan in my head i'm ok but if i get trapped i freak..i've been going through this for 48 years...meetings is the worst..i thought it would go away as i got older but no luck....thanks again...Whats your story???

Hi Herringman1. Basically, I turn red when someone says "Hello". I am riddled with self hatred for this. I hate hate hate turning red. And yet, I turn red. All the time. To put it plainly.... It Plain Sucks! :? My doctor diagnosed me with Rosacea but I don't think I have Rosacea. Well, maybe. But, I think it's in my head more so. I've been struggling with this for about 8 years. Some days are better and some worse. I can turn red when standing in the check out line or when at work in front of co-workers. For no reason or for some reason. It doesn't matter. I get red in the cold. I get red in the hot. I get red... even when I'm not.
I know what you mean about people seeing you go red and then looking for it. If I've blushed in front of someone, I pretty much will blush in front of them again and again. It's like this vicious cycle. I think they are waiting to see me turn red so what do I do? I turn red! Arg!
It's been a really hard thing to deal with. It's caused me to to avoid most situations where I think I might have a problem. But, I know in my heart it's all in my head! I just wish I could convince my face of the same thing!
