My body betrays me in many ways, and one such way is blushing. Its not a cute blush where just my cheeks turn rosy, it’s an entire red face, ears, and neck explosion. Usually this leaves me embarrassed and horrified. Sometimes I can laugh it off with friends, but most the time it spikes a touch of anxiety in my chest. The simplest things can set my blush off:
- Seeing someone I know unexpectedly
- I make a joke and everyone laughs with me
- I do something stupid and everyone laughs at me
- Someone pays me a compliment
- Someone is being confrontational (I hate confrontation)
- I’m confused and I think it’s obvious to others
Add this to the list of things that my body does that is completely out of my control. I wish I could turn invisible when I am forced to blush. There is no love/hate relationship here! Blushing completely falls in the “hate it” category.

People like to go out of their way to try to embarrass those who blush easy. It’s like entertainment for them.

I can relate, it always happens to me when I want as little attention as possible – when I’ve said something stupid, or like you say, when I’m confused. It’s like my face is out to get me!

Yes, exactly. When I want as little attention as possible my face lights up like a big sign telling people to look at me!

I feel like there must be a setting somewhere, if I could just toggle ‘blush now!’ off, it would be fine.
