Help me stop the blushing!!
When I am embarrased or telling a slight fib, (or maybe a bigger fib hehe) I blush! My face turns all red! For example, if someone says "Do you like Josh" and I say "no" (When really I mean yes) I blush, and you can tell I'm lying because I blush! Or when I embarrass myself, like say I fall, but try to make it seem like it didn't bothe me. You can always tell it bothers me b/c I blush! Blushing is soooo embarrasing!! Any tips on how to stop the blushing? (Or is it not possible?)

Being embarrassed whyen you start to feel yourself blushing just makes you more red. haha. I should know. I tend to cover my face or look away and make it even worse. Just...pretend like you dont feel the redness coming on. It won't be AS bad, that way XD.

I'm the same exact way. I blush when I get embarrassed too. There really isn't a way to fix this problem. I always admit that the situation was embarrassing when I can tell I'm blushing because that way it's not that bad. :-D I hope this helps!

Hey! I blush to it's normal, you can't really help it. Expecially when people say nice things about you. I mean I blush when people say stuff about my big blue eyes! Lol, you can't help it!

heres a tip.. dont lie. blushing is natural. im assuming you are fair skinned ( i am too) and in fair skinned people you can obviously see the blood rushing to your face. its natural and there is no way to stop it. my cheeks and ears turn bright red all the time. ( and dont try to camoflague it with makeup because thats kind of WAAAYYY too much to do)

I'm the same way. As I get older (I'm 19 now) I blush less often. There isn't really anything you can do, except try things that give you an opportunity to be in front of people without blushing.
Try theater. Reader's theater is especially good for people starting out. Call your local theaters and ask if they have any similar programs.
Also, you could try signing up for a speech or debate class, if you're still in school. Join a band, or maybe chorus. Anything that will help build confidence in front of people should make you blush a little less. Other than that, just age and experience.

To blush is a normal healthy physiological response. The problems seem to occur when this blushing reponse creates feelings of anxiety which in turn fuels the blushing which in turn fuels the anxiety etc. Also, some people blush much more than others, having built, unwittingly, 'conditioned reflexes' over the years. Sometimes the blushing is situational, at times for example, when the person has to speak in front of groups of others, sometimes a person will often blush even with just their immediate family.
Blushing is involuntary and unfortunately not much can be done to control it. It’s embarrassing but you’re not the only one who blushes. All people do, only some of us hide it better than others due to our complexions. Fair skinned people are more likely to overtly display their blushing due to their coloring.
Often blushing is linked with shyness and embarrassment in our minds. Blushing may in fact be due to that and you can try counteracting it by confronting these associations. You may want to try relaxation techniques and visualization techniques of yourself not blushing. If you experience something like raising your hand in class without being self-conscious you can, perhaps stop blushing. If you see yourself blushing in your mind, why can’t you see yourself not blushing? Are there factors that influence your blushing?
It may take time for your blushing to go away. Some individuals grow out of it and others sometimes retain the trait. Since you are truly concerned, FX recommends seeing your doctor and maybe a therapist. A therapist may be able to help you confront emotional situations that trigger blushing and help you realistically assess how others perceive you. If you are able to overcome the anxiety that triggers blushing, its frequency and intensity will decrease and you will be able to function in settings that were previously threatening. If you continue to struggle, a therapist could work with a doctor who could assess whether medication would be beneficial.
Discuss the situation with your mom and explain the extent of your blushing. Let her know that you want to see a doctor and a therapist. Show her this question and answer and maybe that will let her know how serious you take this issue. If you discuss it with her in a calm and logical manner she will see your point of view.

Practice lying. Facial expressions can usually be overcome. Or ... become a hermit who never talks to anyone.
