Social Anxiety Support

blc1 · 01-08-2009, 09:46 AM

I am a nineteen year old, soon to be twenty, college student in California. Excessive, uncontrollable, unpredictable blushing is the main symptom of my anxiety. This began when I was sixteen and continues to make most social situations unpleasant. I give myself a small pat on the back for staying in school despite the blushing inducing classroom environment. I'm also looking for a part time job which is difficult when there is little that I fear more than INTERVIEWS! I become almost panic-stricken before giving unprepared responses to an unknown interviewer who will be comparing me with other eligible hopefuls. I am unsure if, to the casual observer, my face is as red as it feels. I try hard like many of you to face these daily situations with whatever courage I have.

Hey, i think uncontrolable blushing is kind of really awesome/ super cute.

My skin is a bit too dark to even show blushing

ever.. But my best girlfriend does it all the time, the perhaps awkward uncontrolable blushes, & we all think it's super cute.. The sometimes salmon pink from head to boobs, makes her, her.

*Sorry, i realise that is totally unhelpful & i have completely missed your point. Just had to say it..
But i get the overbearing freakouts about your physicality. I do have that, but in a different way.. I think it's worse when no one else can see it. (or at least accept it as any sort of issue).. because they don't get it.
hope you stick around here

xx

88Marian, I also finding blushing attractive, but in others. I understand its appeal, though it's less appealing if it's excessive.
