Why Do You Blush?
If you would like to train yourself to stop blushing, you must first figure out what sorts of situations make you blush.
Some people only blush when they are very embarrassed.
Others blush when they are nervous or worried.
Some people blush when they think other people are looking at them.
The first step toward a blush-free, or at least blush-limited, life is identifying what triggers blushing for you.
Imagine yourself standing on a stage, you don't have to picture an audience or think about anything as drastic as public speaking.
Just imagine you are an extra in a play, with no lines.
Does thinking about being on stage make your heart rate rise and the blood rush to your face? What about simply being introduced to a group of people you have never met before.
You and a friend are dining out and your friend sees a group of people he knows, but you don't.
He insists on you going with him to their table to meet them.
Do you think that situation would make you so uncomfortable you would blush? Are you especially worried they might notice you are blushing? Perhaps more intimate situations cause you discomfort.
Does the idea of carrying on a conversation with just one other person make you squirm? Some people who blush easily do so because they are worried about not being witty or smart enough and a one on one situation can be miserable.
All of these situations are examples of times we are expected to be socially acceptable.
If these types of encounters make you blush, there is a chance that you are suffering from some sort of social anxiety.
Learning to cope with social situations can go a very long way toward helping you become comfortable enough that you won't worry about blushing anymore.
