Problem Blushing - A Mild Annoyance Or A Serious Problem?

Problem Blushing

 

There is a fine line between blushing easily and blushing excessively.  Blushing easily can be a mild annoyance, but blushing excessively can become a physical and mental disaster.  Some people who tend to blush easily unfortunately find their problem intensifying to a severe level. 

People who blush easily might be quick to blush when they are embarrassed, blush a few times every week.  People who blush excessively blush much more frequently and for many different reasons.  Problem blushers frequently find themselves blushing several times each day, in response to all sorts of emotional triggers and thoughts, both positive and negative. 

When blushing happens several times a day and you feel out of control of your blushing, it goes from being a mild inconvenience to a chronic and nightmarish condition.  Blushing problems can become so severe that they can affect every facet of a person’s life.  Excessive blushing often becomes an unbearable problem, and it can result in serious emotional, social, psychological, and even physical problems. 

For problem blushers, simple daily interactions with other people become sources of dread and discomfort.  They become consumed by an overwhelming fear and dread of blushing, which ironically increased the frequency and intensity of their blushing episodes. 

Because problem blushing is so hard to understand by people who don’t suffer from the problem, it is often not given the serious attention and credibility it deserves.  Problem blushing just doesn’t seem like a legitimate health concern to people who don’t have firsthand experience with it.  However, for those who have a problem with excessive blushing, the condition and resulting complications are real and often debilitating.

If you find yourself blushing frequently, it is a good idea to start working solving your problem blushing behavior before it intensifies the excessive level.  Even if your blushing problem has already become an excessive one, there are positive steps you can take to reduce the severity of your problem.

Blushing from embarrassment is the most common type of blushing that will lead to severe blushing. Keep in mind that just as you can control what you eat and drink, you also have the ability to control what you think and when you think it.  This is not as easy as it sounds but it is possible to do if you practice regularly.

When you blush because of emotional or psychological triggers it is a sign that your physical self is expressing a mental or psychological issue.  These types of triggers cause us to blush because we have a little voice inside our heads telling us that then cause us to feel stupid or unworthy or many other emotions.  You can make a conscious decision to not listen to these voices and reduce these emotional triggers.

The first thing you have to figure out is what are your emotional triggers? The most common emotional triggers are low self-confidence, low self-esteem and high self-awareness.

Problem blushing is tied to how we feel about ourselves.  We all see ourselves a certain way and oftentimes, it is a completely false or unrealistic view.  Often times, an innocent question or comment can make us feel as if everyone is looking at us, or making fun of us, or being made to look stupid in public, which then stresses us out and we blush because we feel embarrassed.

The real question is why do we project these feelings onto ourselves?  Most of the time, no one is even paying any attention to us or has even noticed that we have “messed up”.   But, because our subliminal mind is screaming that we are wrong, that we are not as good as we would like to be, that we are stupid, that we deserve to be made fun of or that we can't handle the situation, we react by breathing faster, our heart starts racing and we flush bright red.  But these thoughts are all quite simply signs of low self-esteem of rock bottom self-confidence.

Ask yourself if these are things which you feel might be affecting you personally. If they are, and you can notice the link between feelings and the actual times the blushing occurs, you are in good position to start developing a new outlook towards the way you view yourself and the world around you.

The overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and helplessness commonly experienced by problem blushers can be significant barriers to making positive change.  For problem blushers, the hardest part of putting a stop to excessive blushing is to actually start the process of changing. 

The sooner you start to take positive steps toward putting a stop to your blushing problems, the faster you will be able to see that there is hope for ending excessive blushing.  You just have to make a decision start taking positive steps to control your blushing, rather than allow blushing to control your life.
