My face also turns red. Once in 5th grade I presented something on a stage in front of my whole grade and teachers. My face turned so red they made me go to the nurse cause they thought I had hives or whatever. Its the thing I hate most about me and I can't help it. The only thing I think is a good advice tip is to not think about it. When its happening its happening and if its stuck with you who cares? Just think to your self if I can't help it then forget it! I'm going to turn red so lets just get it over with. When I see my crush looking at me I always turn bright red and try to hide it but I'm scared if its going to happen everytime I see it.
I don't know how old this post is, but I thought I'd give some input. I'm 29 years old and STILL have this problem. My mom always used to tell me it would go away once I got older,...but it doesn't look that way lol. I have 3 presentations coming up for school and I have been so terrified, but it's mainly because of anticipatory anxiety. You think about it so much that you actually make it happen. Either way, it's very hard to control, and hide especially if you are very pale skinned like me. My face even turned red today when I was talking to my group members, and they could tell of course that I was the "shy one." They were very nice, but it is so humiliating to endure on a daily basis. I feel your pain! I need to join some "Blushers" group for support or something lol. I do find that if you hold onto something cold it usually helps. It kind of counters the redness from starting. Anyways, good luck to you!
I'm a very confident person , and just in the last month , my face turns red , even when I just walk past someone, before, this never happened ,and now my friends all go " haha your face is so red " and I get even redder . I don't really know why this is happening, but I think it might be because of stress or something because now, I'm sweating more, my hands , my underarms . Everything, so I'm thinking I might start yoga or something , do you think that might help ? Please give advice or something :) THANK YOU .
I turn really red sometimes if I'm speaking infront of a crowd of people. If I know what I'm going to say or if the poem or thing I'm presenting is really short, it doesn't happen but if I teacher asks me to explain the answer I got or if the poem I'm reading is kind of long or I mess up on a poem its turns really red and I hate it when people say "whats wrong with his face or he's really red" and some people ask if I'm ok and other people don't really care at all. My sixth grade class didn't care if my face turned red because they were used to it but now that I'm in seventh grade its really hard because people ask me why my face turns red and I can't give them answer. Its really hard I wish the had a cure for it but I can only go off suggestions now my dad told me it will go away during highschool and when I'm an adult I just hope it does
I'm holding on to the hope that one day I will find the motivation and determination to thrust myself into social situations and consciously develop a mental block to stop all those "what if I go red?" thoughts that, right now, seem like bulldozers knocking me down and crushing me to pieces. My inner-terror shows in every gesture, every expression and I feel guilty for the awkwardness I make others feel from seeing this.
I have the same problem. Try talking to a friend or parents! :P I just say things like ook keep away or you might catch something! Just laugh it off and LAUGH! :D Your problem may be caused by stress so take deep breaths and try to reduce stress in your life. I also go red when I laugh but I cool down after a while. If your nervous when your public speaking just practise makes perfect :)
