When you get uncomfortable or nervous do you get red in the face?
Blushing is a symptom of social anxiety. Excessive blushing is a reaction to a strong emotion caused by a situation where you feel anxious, uncomfortable or embarrassing like a presentation in front of people perhaps, meeting your date for the first time, a job interview, or having to meet lots of people at a big party. Increasing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system the fight or flight response stimulates the release of adrenaline into the bloodstream. This widens blood vessels, altering and relaxing the blood vessels underneath the skin which increases the volume of blood going to the skin. It is here we experience facial redness or blushing. People with social anxiety often fear that their blushing will be seen as them being shy, nervous or as a sign of weakness.
When you feel the redness coming on from a situation of discomfort it’s almost impossible to stop it. It’s critical to get to the root cause or the reasons why you’re feeling uncomfortable in that situation, if your nervous blushing is affecting our ability to interact with others you need to start digging. Treating the cause in this way will help to make you more comfortable in that social situation. Facial blushing was so embarassing for me and it was holding me back from so much in life. However, when I learned to deal with it and face those emotions it started to get better. I noticed the more I tried to stop it the more I would experience it, I had to get to the “root” and confront the feelings I had. Increasing your confidence and self esteem is another key factor to eliminate social blushing.
Blushing is a natural reaction to emotions. The more you worry or concentrate on blushing the more it seems to reoccur, so acknowledge your feelings and try to let it go and carry on through the event. You can learn to lessen the intensity or frequency and one day you’ll notice that you don’t even worry about it anymore.
When my blushing stopped I was so thrilled and went on to purchase the Panic Away program to cure my anxiety attacks that had held me down for so long. For months I researched all of the anxiety programs and was so excited to get started with Panic Away.
