Question Posted Tuesday August 9 2005, 12:18 am

I dont know whats wrong with me. Like, I can be the center of attention in front of my friends but at the same time Im the quietest person you could ever meet when I want to be or when I just dont know what to say and I get nervous.

I'm going to a new school next year and I already have a small group of friends there, and I'm able to make friends easily when I want to, it's just when I present in front of the class that bothers me. I dont know what it is. Like, I'm not afraid about people hearing my voice or anything. I'm not afraid of being nervous, because it's not even that I get nervous. I just BLUSH. I HATE blushing. I hate when people see me blush because they make a huge deal over it and I dont know how to control it. Even if I'm not embarassed I'll still blush at times. And even if I blush when I dont even realize I'm blushing people go "Omg are you EMBARASSEDDD!?" and stuff like that and make jokes. I mean I can make fun of my self too when I want to joking around and all that with people and all but, I dont know.

-sigh- okay. Basically. Im fine presenting. Its just my blushing problem. And then when I FEEL myself blushing, thats when I get majorly nervous.

How can I control this? Please help. Any tips.. any at all. I just want to be able to stand in front of the class without fucking blushing for once, and sweating and feeling all gross and shaky afterwards.

It's been like this ever since I can remember. It's torchure. Can anyone help please?

I know there is a concealer you can get from The Body Shop that is green in colour and helps hides red cheeks. This may give you more confidence, as when you are blushing, it won't look so bad, then you won't get so embarrassed and blush more.

My Mum has this exact problem, she blushes even when not embarrased, just because someone spoke to her, so I know exactly where you are coming from.

There is no quick fix for it, sometimes hypnotherapy can help, or breathing techniques. It could also be a symptom of hyperhydrosis, which is excess sweating. You say you feel sweaty, so this could be the case. Perhaps you could speak to a doctor about this, as there as certain things you can try to stop these. If your doctor isn't sypmathetic, try another. I found this problem, but they are there to help you, so keep trying.

Please contact my inbox to let me know how you get on or if you want to talk!

Good luck!

juss be yourself. you'll find people that WILL like you for it and they're the ones you should be friends with. don't being offended by what anyone says and juss be open and honest, thats the best thing. being nervous or shy is perfectly normal and everyone goes through it. your true friends will accept you for who you are, so you don't need to worry about what others think.

Okay even though you say that you dont tend to get nervous but I think you do. Thats how you can tell you get nervous. Who cares if you blush!! Its no big deal! Everyone does it. You just have to learn not to take it as a big deal yourself. If people ask if you are blushing and you dont want to admit it just tell them you are'nt and that you're wearing blush or something. Blushing is a normal and natrual thing and all human beings do it. Just try not to worry about it and you'll be fine! Just have fun presenting and stuff. Good luck babe!
