In reply to blushing / social phobia, posted by ohal on January 28, 2002, at 8:53:53

Well, I know a big shot who gives talks at conferences and who blushes uncontrollably. At first I thought it was odd, then I thought, well, he is human, even though he is a big shot he blushes. And I ended up not noticing it so much, simply because that's part of him. He made an impressive career too, so it did not impair him too much apparently.

You said you're tired of trying to live with it, but that's what I'm suggesting here. There's no shame in blushing. It's simply unfortunate that it bothers you so much however. I don't think that people have a bad opinion about you for it, and once they get past the fact that you're a blusher (once they notice the first time they see you), they probably don't notice it so much, just like me with this big shot.

I blush at times myself, I am not sure how often. Sometimes I feel it because my face becomes warm, but I try not to think about it and to concentrate on what I have to say (it's usually when I have to talk in a group of people).

Sorry but I don't have a miracle solution...
