This was something I found over at ESFE CHANNEL (another forum similar to this one) and I thought it was quite a good idea that may help people control there blushing in class easer and there for able to ask questions in class.
Hope you like it.

I don't feel embarrassed about anything at all
By: Kirsten
I think of myself as having more self confidence than the average person, but my face will literally turn PURPLE (well past the cute, blushing stage) in the most random social situations... talking to a bank teller, talking to a co-worker, running into a friend at the grocery store.... ! It's strange-- I don't feel embarrassed about anything at all, but my face will turn red. Then I'll get embarrased about that and it will go purple! The other weird thing about it is that whenever I'm cold (ie can't feel myself blush) or it's dark (others wouldn't be able to see me blush), I never get the red-faced problem. I'm sure that it's some sort of biofeedback. I wish someone would invent an invisible cold pack for my face! One piece of advice for other chronic blushers--- I learned that, in college, if I sat in the very front row, I could ask questions and participate in discussions because the other students couldn't see me. I found that if I sat anywhere but the front row, I couldn't speak out because the other students would turn and look at me, and then it started the whole process. I still use this front-row, closest seat strategy in meetings and conferences.
