embarassed


Question Posted Tuesday August 30 2005, 11:02 pm

I am going crazy. I get embarassed so easily! School started on Monday. The only class I have with my boyfriend Brandon is first period. The teacher told us that we are going to have to do presentations a lot and I am so scared. When I get embarassed my face turns BRIGHT red and it doesn't get better for a while. I can feel it getting red and then I think about it which makes me feel even more stupid and my face gets even more red! I'm so nervous and I don't want to look stupid in front of Brandon. I can't get in front of the class without my face turning red. I can't even answer a question without getting embarassed. What are some ways that I can not be so obvious or cover it up!? Is there make-up, a certain way to breathe, or ANYTHING!? I'm so desperate. I need help!

breathing slowly helps. You can also ask the techer if you can either have friend precent whatever it is or get a freind to sit oh the ground in front of you for support that helps. for breathing just slowly breath in through your nose and out through your mouth and try to visualize something that calms you down or creeps you out so you forget about being nervous. Anyway just have fun with any thing you do.

Most Americans are more afraid of public speaking then death, that means most people would rather be in a car accident then give a presentation. Honestly, I rather take my chances in the accident some days.

There is no make-up I know off to cover a head-to-toe blush, but proper breathing will help you a lot. Try it out at home. Focus on your breathing, make it as slow and deep as possible and relax your muscles.

When you get nervous your bodyâ??s first response is to take quick short breaths and increase your heart rate. Basically you get high on oxygen, which accounts for the sort of faint feeling and the overheating. Your body is remembering it's animal days, and is gearing up to run away quickly from something that scares it.

Deep breathing it the easiest way to deal with that, you don't give your body what is needs to fuel the fear. Just taking three deep breaths before you have to present might make the world of difference for you.

The other thing is, talk to your teacher. I explained to a teacher once my issues with in class presentations and she booked one of mine on a day when nearly no one comes to school and the others I did only for her. Most teachers are not out to hurt you, but want to help you succeed.
