Blushing.

I'm a huuuuge blusher. I always get red when public speaking, and everyone feels the need to point this out. And it sucks. Anyone else struggle with this?

Nope, I'm alright at public speaking... when I used to blush I would just wear it with pride or make a joke out of it

~+ Bear +~ · Sep 19th 2010, 6:09pm

haha I usually just try to do the same. And it helps most of the time.

Llivio · Sep 19th 2010, 6:09pm

I have the same probleme, I always get my words mixed up as well :nono:

~+ Bear +~ · Sep 19th 2010, 6:11pm

Yeah if I'm nervous enough I do the same. And that only makes it worse, which makes the occasional studdering worse :nono:

My cheeks always seem to just be red, so I look like I am blushing.

Treebark2268 · Sep 19th 2010, 7:15pm

Me. I blush at everything like this,

@David!: I know, I'm just naturally super adorable. Like, a duck. Or teddy bear. Or the blue bird in my DP.

5l4ck · Sep 20th 2010, 5:25pm

my cheeks are kinda red by nature.. and i hate it

I don't have problem speaking in front of auidence, nor do i think i (would) blush, but like i said, already have red cheeks by nature :s (kinda lol).

But have a good friend of mine whose cheeks, or let's say head gets red the moment she's called out and there are people around

And she's hating it xD But it always makes me smile seeing her getting all red lol

Blushing is a symptom of anxiety, and stage fright triggers anxiety. Even if you're fine in any other social scenario, there can be certain situations where you feel uncomfortable and anxious, and hence, blush. Overcoming your stage fight would be the first step to take towards ending your red faces, or you could try taking a beta blocker.

Andy pretty much has it, though I don't agree that medication is necessary.
All you really need to do from the sounds of it is to work on your confidence in situations such as public speaking which make you nervous. If it's any consolation I've played violin in groups and solo, and done a ridiculous amount of public speaking, and I still get very nervous, depending on the circumstances. The more experience you have though, the better you get at turning off the signs that you are nervous. You blush less, you can prevent your hands from shaking and your voice from from wobbling or mixing up words.

In short, I would suggest that you categorise the circumstances in which you feel that you blush and are uncomfortable, and google some advice on how to improve yourself in those areas. If you feel like PMing me I can happily give you some tips for your public speaking :)

Same. thankfully for me no one points it out. I always ask the professor if I can turn off the lights this way I feel more calm.
