okay. so, i have this problem.. this is going to be kinda long but i really need help! i get REALLY embarrassed really easily. people could just look at me the wrong way and my face turns BRIGHT red! and it takes a while for it to go completely away (not like 10 minutes..but like 20 seconds) but when you are embarrassed it feels like FOREVER!! but the thing is, i don't know if this is normal or not, because of how extreme it is. i mean, i can't even look people in the eyes without turning red. i always feel that i am being judged, and i am so insecure! but i hate it so much, it holds me back soo much! i can't even be myself around anyone because of my face turning red. it makes me feel like such an idiot! i need help. like how can i stop it? do you think i have a problem where i would need to take medicine or something to make it go away!? because EVERYTHING embarrasses me! i even get embarrassed when i am talking on the phone and i say something and the other person laughs. even when people are laughing WITH me and not AT me i get embarrassed, so needless to say when people laugh AT me i am totally humiliated!! HELP!!!!!!!!

MandiThompson<3 answered Sunday July 24 2005, 5:32 pm: I had this same problem. My friends used to make fun of me for it all the time which didn't help. But I learned to surround myself with people I knew that wouldn't judge me. Just find a group of people that accepts you. Also, when you know you're going to be going somewhere where you know you're going to have to talk alot to people, wear your favorite outfit. It's practically proven to make you feel more confident in yourself. You also probably need to lighten up and learn to laugh at yourself. You'll eventually grow out of this phase and I bet alot of people tell you that but it's true. Take it from me because I had the same problem and lived with it for 13 years. It'll go away. Hope I helped!! [ MandiThompson<3's advice column | Ask MandiThompson<3 A Question ]

Try to figure out what is causing your insecurity. Have you had a bad experience in the past? Not everyone is a jerk about stuff. When people laugh at something you say, do you feel they're laughing at you? Maybe they just love your sense of humor. Once your know the cause of the insecurity, you can find a solution.
There's not really a solution for being easily embarassed other than try to remember that
1) You're most likely not the first person to do what you did or say what you said. and
2)Chances are most people won't even remember it a week later.
Since it seems to me that you're very insecure and do have a severe problem of getting embarassed easily, you might try counseling. The counselor can help you get to the root of the problem as well as help you work through to the solution. [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]
