what are you feeling right now? (23)

[J0SHUA]

Wow, I need serious help. I don't know why but I'm blushing and nervous smiling whenever someone makes eye contact with me. What is going on? This happened to me when talking to someone I had a crush on, and now it happens to everyone. I don't know what to do. I think, "stay calm, there's no reason to get nervous" and then it's like "oh no, don't think of blushing, NO DON'T, NOO" and I feel the warmth in my face. How can I fix this

Hurting. Not the physical kind right now, I'm numb in that aspect but just. Aching and sad.

 

[Krissy Cakes]

Tired, depressed and in pain.

 

[gennypearl]

Praying for you all.

Just came from a prayer meeting and it was awesome!

 

[blackribbon]

tired but strangely uplifted...here's hoping it sticks around a little while...nothing has gotten better so I am not sure what the lift is from...but I'll take it

 

[chaoticfirefly]

upset

 

[dyingslowly]

Low mood... for no reason. It's always like that for me.

I am in a good place today

I heard there is this condition where you blush easily. I know one person who had that issue once, all you had to do was making him laugh and he'd blush a bit. But I think that went away eventually. So hopefully yours will, too, and if it doesn't just try a doctor. Either way, just explain to me that you've got this blushing issue, it might be odd at first, but they'll probably understand.

Crazy day. Blushed at every customer and associate until I took some beta blockers and worked insanely hard because my coworker called out. But now it's time to bond with nature

What was the condition called? I might have some social anxiety, but I was shy even as a kid so it might just be my nature. I haven't been diagnosed but it's my only guess as to what it could be. I didn't used to have this issue. I blushed when a girl I liked smiled at me at work and now I blush to everyone but it's only because I pressure myself and tell myself to stay calm and not blush. It's so bad that I feel like not going anywhere where I have to talk to people, cause as soon as someone makes eye contact with me, my face is on fire. :/

There's no particular name for it. Some people call it chronic blushing, persistent blushing or pathological blushing.

It's a disorder of part of the nervous system. It can be relieved with medication or surgery.

Do see a doctor if it's causing major interference with your daily interactions.

Are you sure? Because I only blush when I think of blushing and try not to. It's all in my head.

 

[dyingslowly]

I can't be sure if, for you, it's a psychological or biological problem.

The fear of blushing itself can cause blushing.

You may wish to monitor yourself. If it's really affecting your social life, I do think you should consult a doctor for an opinion.

If it's not a crippling issue, or, you feel you can live with it... then leave it.

Interesting, but I don't think it's any serious condition. It's the fear of it that's causing it, just like agoraphobia and those types of problems. I've overcome agoraphobic problems so I can do this too. I just need to accept blushing and not be afraid of it. Time for me to get out there and practice

There's nothing wrong with blushing

At the moment I am feeling excited but a bit stressed out because I will be moving home next week. I'll be so glad when it's all over. In the meantime I would appreciate prayer

It is absolutely nothing serious unless it affects your confidence. Personally, if you can embrace it then those closest to you probably find it charming. It is a peek into your soul and you will seem to be a more open person. I would expect that as your anxiety about it decreases, then so would it's frequency.

Nauseas but okay surprisingly.

I started Biblical counseling and its a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I had my second session today. My counselor wants me to start writing poetry again, I'm not sure I'm ready for that.
