Does anyone else struggle with this condition? I blush almost every time I meet someone new or have to talk to someone I don't know very well. It's a social anxiety thing, not because I'm embarassed which is the reason most people blush. Sometimes it happens for no reason even. I could be sitting in class and it will randomly happen because of anxiety. Or, any time there is too much attention on me I will blush then too.
It isn't as bad as it used to be but still has the ability to ruin my life. People who don't have this problem will tell me "oh, it's not a big deal, no one notices." No, it is a big deal and people certainly notice. I am very fair and when I blush it's not pink, it's beet red, bordering on purple. Depending on my anxiety level I can stay this color for up to four or five minutes at a time. People get concerned and ask if something is wrong. It is hugely humiliating.
I'm just looking for someone else who struggles with this and understands how destructive it is.
