My mind

Hello I am new :) ... I have a big problem with blushing. When I was 15 (I am 19) I became more aware of the people around me and the smallest things. Before that I could give really good presentations but now I can rarely do them anymore without feeling ill (no I can't even say that because I have avoided them all). During my A levels that was the worst time with it, almost everyday I would go red and my face sets on fire because I would get embarrassed about something I was asked in class. I avoided every presentation and usually my answers to questions were speedy to try and get the attention away before I went red. It's all because of my mind because before if I am sat at a desk or a dinner table I feel so stressed out and unnatural that if the attention is turned on me I feel a surge of adrenaline and I will go red. I could never go on a first date at a dinner table unless I was totally comfortable with the person. If I am stood up however or sat down I feel fine.



That is the biggest problem of my life summed up :P
