Question Posted Sunday July 24 2005, 12:04 am

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!!!!!!!!

Its normal because i have a friend who is Irish and she turns Red a lot, especially around cute boys. but it can be little less noticable if you put on some foundation. i am not saying it will be completly unnoticable because it WILL be noticable but try to laugh at your self for embarrasing moments and take it as a joke so it will be easier to get it off your mind. and try to think of something you really love when you want to try to get your mind off and Trust me, i wish I can BLUSH... i never can so boys never know i am flirting with them most of the times.

unless i go overboard..which i dont really like

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!!

Blushing is something you can not control. Medicine will not help it either I'm sorry to say. I wouldn't worry too much about it since a lot of people find it cute.

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.

Awwwwww!!!!!! This question broke my heart. I can tell this is a big set back in your life, and I'm sorrie to hear this is so. I wish I could recommend a few things myself to help you out with your situation, but unfortunately.. I know of nothing off hand. ERGO.. I looked online for you, and I came up with a few websites I think you should look at:

I have NOOOOOO idea what all of that Hypnosis talk is about, but if it's in every website, perhaps they're onto something! =]
