So, in class the slightest thing that makes me uncomfortable make me go red. For example ( this might sound stupid) when someone farts in class I go sooooooo red to the point people think that it’s me. I go red when I’m picked on in class, when I’m with my friends it’s fine but in public it’s like I’m in hell, it’s making my life so hard and the fact that I’m in high school so I can’t just walk away from it. *edit a year later:* heyo its been a little more than a year than i posted this comment- and my problem has been getting better :D also thank u for all of the replies i enjoy coming back every couple months or so just to read your stories :)) *edit after 2 years:* im now in 3 out of my 4 years of my highschool experience and honestly its been getting bigger i think what it honestly was and still is, is just anxiety and the fear of not knowing what people were going to say, or what they were going to think. so! in conclusion, i was 11 when i first commented on this video now im 14 and i think just letting yourself grow out of the mindset that you are in thats letting yourself get embarrassed by little things such as thinking that OTHER people think you farted in class. ill maybe try updating year to year so look out for that i guess :)) !!!!

You literally just described my entire teenage years. I had no idea there was a name for what I had. I used to get very red when I did presentations to the point where I would have rather failed a class then to be in front speaking in front of everyone. I was painfully shy and so uncomfortable in my body. I wanted to hide and by severely blushing I felt like people would noticed me more. I also developed an eating disorder and I’m not sure if it is associated to that but the smaller I got the more I felt like I was disappearing hence no attention. Thank you for talking about this. I don’t struggle with it anymore, thankfully but I feel for everyone who has or does. Omg the PowerPoint presentation is so on point and also begging teachers to do presentations only in front of them.

This was so well said and I was nodding along constantly throughout. I don’t normally comment on media but I think this is something that is very important and personal to me. I think it’s hard for people that do not severely blush to truly understand how mentally draining this ‘phobia’ really is. Even in perfectly normal situations when there is no attention on me, my mind would all of a sudden fixate on me possibly going red. This phobia is normally brushed off by media and seen as something that will ‘disappear over time’ or something that ‘you will just grow out of it’. This phobia can be very isolating and it’s comforting to see that there are people that I can relate too. I think my message to people suffering with this phobia is to first accept that you have this phobia. If you feel like you are going red, try your best to accept it (easier said then done right). Surround yourself with people that understand that you have this phobia. Try to understand the triggers and then try to realise that going severely red doesn’t mean the end of the world. You are not weird or abnormal - in fact, your body is showing the most NATURAL reaction. If u are in a social situation and you feel that you are going severely red just address it and take 5 and cool down. These techniques and understandings have helped me even though I still go severely red every now and then. I’ve learnt that it’s a part of my character and that my friends that I surround myself with understand that. Accept it, don’t reject it.

@jamesridley2114

m G in the workplace, it’s definitely a challenging environment for people like us that have this phobia. I do severely blush every now and then at work and it can be demoralising. Especially when I’m in a meeting and I feel trapped when I’m severely blushing - that’s the worst. HOWEVER, as I said in my earlier comment, you have to understand - or try to convince your mind - that there are way worse traits to have than blushing. Yes it’s embarrassing, awkward and humiliating but people also find it easier to build working relationships with people who blush. This is because blushing shows that you are genuine, friendly and trustworthy. Also, I find what works best for me at work is to distract yourself with something or immediately give yourself a task to do when you feel like you are blushing. It can be literally anything. For example, when I’m in a meeting, I will start writing what people are saying when I feel like I’m going red. My mind is therefore focusing more on them rather than focusing on me.

This started to happen to me at 14 years old. And it destroyed my life. I couldn't speak, sometimes for example like in family events I coudn't even stay there, because I would blush even if I wouldn't speak. I started to stay alone, I started to get distanced from my family, but my family as a classic system they are, couldn't understand and coudn't accept what is going on. In school was the hardest part: As an excellent student everyone hated me, so when I came up with the talk about the subject that we was learning they laughed a lot at me and got satisfied. I was ready to give up and never to talk again in the class, even tho I knew the answers teacher gaves. But my father was so authoritative and he beated earlier, when I got a bad grade, so he was so strict and wanted me perfect in studies. So I had to go up and talk, even tho I was satisfing all my haters, with my terribly blushing face. Staying alone, not speaking, later I got diagnosed with AUTISM & ADHD, anxiety, depression. Staying alone in my room everytime I got a chance, make me face another problem: not being heard (when I talk to friends) or not being seen (when I came in a room). So with this conditions I stopped socializing, destoyed my social skills. Today as a 20 years old man I can't talk to anyone, and I can't carry a conversation. I'm super shy with girls, I never had a friend female. So I will never be married. I will never make my childhood dream come true (being a teacher) even tho I was so smart, and worked hard in studies and deserved it. What is even terrible is the interesting facet that is happening right now: my brother now 14 years old is starting to experience exactly the same. So seing him in the start of this terrible thing (trying to hide, staying alone, blushing in front of family members), and knowing in silence what he is going to go throught, is making me pull out my hair. What the hell has caused this, can anybody pretend? Even tho after analysing things, I came up in a conclusion that authoritative and strict father (that beats children) caused this. As being a child of super authoritative parent like my father that he didn't let us (his kids) even say a word in front of him. But here is also something interesting: I have 4 sisters but none of them has been experiencing this thing only me and my brother. So maybe this happend from the pressure exerted by our father in us males, as a super dominant and authoritative that he was, felt us as defiant or competitor to take power. Here to confirm this I need necessarily the perspective of others who are diagnosed with blushing. Necessary for them to show that maybe they too had such a father, and if that, then there is no doubt that the cause of all this life-destruction will be revealed.

I’m going to try and become as red as I can.” This worked better then I could’ve hoped for. If you are embarrassed that you’re blushing, you will become more red. If you are proud of your blushing, you’ll stop blushing.

It's so embarrassing & a lot of the time I don't even u understand why I blush so hard, I feel like I shouldn't be embarrassed by the things that make it happen.

I suffered for several years with social anxiety throughout and a little after secondary school and was bullied on and off too. Thank you for sharing this Alice. You are helping me a lot with eating disorder/ trying to regain my period

This video made me cry too. I have gone through all of this and I hate it. In school every time I would feel like my cheeks and ears were burning. It was so bad I always blushed if I was talking with someone. I remember one time my friends started making fun of me because a girl asked me for a pen and I started blushing and they were saying that I was a lesbian because of that. This made me so so shy and sometimes I feel like I can't handle this anymore. I recently moved to the U.S by my self without family and I have felt so lonely because I am afraid to talk to other people. I am still trying to find a way to get rid of it. When I asked someone if maybe there was a surgical procedure that would help me with it they told me that it is cute when people blush and everyone always tells me that, now I don't even ask because nobody understands me. You are right, it is mentally exhausting. I have been living in the US for almost a year and I still don't have any real friend.

Funny thing is i was never red or embarrassed (sometimes but that was bc of how hard i was laughing) then one day i was on the verge of hyperventilating while answering a question to my teacher (mind you i was 17 and was and still am a very social person that doesn’t get awkward quickly) and bc of it i got so red and when it got pointed out the problem began. I began blushing constantly bc i was so scared of blushing. Now it came back after 3 years of not having it but i’m on a new school so that’s probably why. I am a very honest person, if I don’t like someone i will say it in their face but the idea of blushing being seen as “showing your embarrassed” has made it come back. I’m trying get back in the mindset i had 3 years ago so i can stop blushing again and the 1 one thing that helped is telling myself “will ppl remember the fact that i got so red 2 hours ago?” Bc the answer is no, they’ll forget cause they really don’t care. Also i like to think (even though it’s kinda mean) “remember when *insert name of classmate* did this, that is honestly way more embarrassing then me just turning red bc i was laughing so hard and they also have zero shame so why would i feel ashamed for something so small” and it works for some reason bc I’m making myself realize that everyone does something embarrassing in their life and most of those embarrassing moments are way worse than me blushing and they got out of it too so why can’t i. I’m hoping both of us can move on from our fear and feel more confident

Wow... You are narrating my own life story... I first experienced blushing in the 6th grade and I am now 23 years old, but 7th grade is when it really hit and that's where everything started falling apart. Just hearing your story got me wanting to break down. I had to pause when you mentioned about wanting to end your life because that is exactly how I feel at this moment. I am going through depression just like you. I always fear bright lit rooms and remember always liking when the rooms were dark and cool in school and presentations being a nightmare for me. This is the reason why I hate when indoors is too warm as well as social situations. I quit my first job because of it and even broke down in front of my manager when I left the position. I am now three months into my new job and the cycle is going on. I am doing the best I can to hold onto life and my job because I know my family is in need! I fear my workplace every day and just want to quit so badly but I know I cannot do that! Just like you I feel like I'm getting lost from reality. I have 1 friend I hardly talk to and no one else. I cannot have a normal face to face conversation and always try to avoid them at all cost which has caused me many friendships. I am devestated to know that I have to sit on the sidelines as I watch others live out the dream life that I always wanted. My faith and family is what's keeping me from ending everything. I have used my long hair as a shield to cover my face and have not been able to wear my hair up since. I fear of going to work tomorrow and facing everyone again. I just need this to end so I can live in peace. A decade long of this is too much to handle and I know and understand others have it worse. I have never told any of my family about this and have been suffering through this on my own...Seeing the smiles of my family with each of my weekly earnings that will help in the household... always has me saying If only they knew the emotional pain I endure day in and day out. I wish you the best as well as anyone who may be reading this and going through the same thing. ❤

GIRL. Every single thing that you talked about in this video describes me to a T. I had no idea that there was a term for this, but it is 100% what I have struggled with since I was 11-12 years old (I'm 20 now). It has only gotten worse over the years as I have developed more anxiety and had more traumatizing blushing experiences, so now when I imagine a situation, I can know immediately if it will make me blush or not based on my past experiences, so then I just end up avoiding that experience all together or avoid having a conversation with someone. No one else in my family struggles with this, so even if I talk about it with them they don't understand. I've gotten to the point that it is such an insecurity of mine that I don't want to talk to ANYONE about it because I think that it would just make it worse for me somehow by exposing myself. I'm just silently suffering and I often feel like I'm never going to get over this, but listening to you and reading all of these comments about other people struggling with this is so incredibly encouraging. Thank you for opening up (even though this was a couple years ago), because this has helped me and so many others so much!

Wow. Just wow. This makes me realise that whatever you suffer from, you are not alone. I had this on and off when I was 12 and it got really worse when I turned 13 or 14 and it lasted a few years. I always felt weird, it made me feel embarrased and especially when I was talking to guys, I always thought, they must think that I had a crush or something on them, even though I didn't. I just always would turn red. I never knew that there was a name for it. I'm 28 today and somehow I overcome it for like 99%. It rarely happens with certain people, but I still can't explain why. When it happens I don't freak out, I try to relax and just accept it. I don't know how I overcome it, I'm still a pretty shy person, but I'm more confident today and I've accepted myself the way I am, which I think, is the key to a lot of things. Thank you for opening up about this. Even though it's been years, it also brought me back and made me emotional. Thank you

I turned red typing this. I also put a ridiculous amount of thought into a relatively simple comment because my brain decided this is a time pressured social interaction. I can turn red from a thought in my mind, no outward trigger, just 130 degrees farenheit glowing off my face. Someone else does something embarrassing, or reveals any kind of raw emotion and I'm like the beacon from gondor on the other end of the room. This draws attention, so my brain throws fuel into the fire. It will sometimes confuse people because my reaction has zero correlation to the situation, or like you said mortify them- which mortifies me. Yay brain. I literally experience fight or flight reactions 8/10 social situations a day, this means dry mouth, freezing of motor functions, trying to blend in with fire trucks, fog filled brain, and oddly enough my eyes well up with tears. That last part is especially difficult because it makes me look like I'm going to cry, which is usually the last thing I want to do because I really want to take a freezing cold shower and die. Any kind of confrontation or social pressure, my symptoms hit critical mass and im a red faced, stuttering, incoherent mess of human malfunction. Not a very manly reaction I noticed. I literally cant thank you enough for making this video. I searched this up on a whim and I cannot tell you the relief I felt to hear someone else relating to the hell I live through every day.

Dude that’s so crazy we have like the exact same story. I also have depersonalization and blush super super easy. I struggle with blushing so much and before I realized I blushed so much I was confident but the older I got the more people pointed it out and the more I avoided talking to people. There have been so many times I start talking to someone and I can feel I’m about to blush so I do something to quickly leave the conversation. I also don’t mind talking to people or infront of a group but I don’t because I know I will blush even though I’m not embarrassed. I even dropped out of school and do online now because my depersonalization and how uncomfortable I would get during school from blushing. When you said the thing about being cold that’s so crazy because that’s exactly what I do. Also about the presentations with the lights off, I feel like it would give me a break to not think about blushing lol.

I only once experienced dissolution form it, as at all costs I would avoid all my red triggers, school is not the place to be when ur like this. to cope I developed the early stages of and eating disorder the I am still battling today at 17, and old behaviors, as well as escapism through drugs and alcohol, with has left me with addictions I am still dealing with.

I'm not pale but I'm brown skinned but I turn red like crazy. Trust me you can still see it. Being a darker skin colour can't take away that you've gone red like a tomato. I have social anxiety but I didn't know what medical term the fear of blushing was until now. As long as I can remember I've been telling my family that I go bright red and I hate it and that I can't hide my embarrassment and what you were describing about the blushing is me. I go bright red and hot and then go even more hot and red because I get anxious and embarrassed about the blushing and I always feel like my face is on fire and everyone can notice it. In fact many incidents have happened where someone points out to me that I've gone red but one of the ones that still stick in my mind is when I was like 15 I had to read something out in class from a book and I was embarrassed and red and was blushing and this vicious cycle of blushing to the extreme started because I knew everyone was looking at me and they'd notice and my voice was shaky and it was so bad that my friend legit asked me "what's wrong with your face? You look deformed" because my face had changed so much. I already have social anxiety but the fact I can't hide my embarrassment and the colour of my face changes and it feels so hot makes it so much worse.

This happened to me too and I’ve been scarred ever since. I was 16-17 and in class when I was sitting in a group of friends and I jumbled up my words and the more extroverted friend of mine mocked the phrase that I tripped up on, so it embarrassed me and I got red and didn’t even know it until she pointed it out to the other friends. So at that point while they were laughing I got CONPLETELY choked up and couldn’t say anything, I was growing so hot and red in the face I had to put my head down and they kept asking if I was okay. I wanted to run away so bad and to this day I never let anyone see me without heavy face makeup. Rarely ever does my own husband see me without it.

People will never understand this unless they have this fear. It’s constantly on my mind. I always feel dissociated all the time and it’s because of this reason. I’m afraid people will think I am wierd, anti-social and an introvert but I’m not. This is the same with me. I feel like it gets me so down in class that I can’t socialise and people think I’m weird. Like I also miss out so much and it’s for this reason.

For example go outside enjoy life and when you feel like your gonna get red just keep on going and don’t let it overflow your thoughts . Don’t think about it . Just let it be . It’s going to get better you just can’t give up .i have been dealing with this all my life . but we need to imbrace it and the more we do the less we think about it and the less we think about it the less it occurs.

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! Social anxiety and the excessive blushing began for me in elementary school, but I didn't find out about either one of them until this year. I can definitely understand all the little things like staying cold to avoid overheating and possibly blushing, avoiding eye contact or small talk with strangers or even contributing to a conversation bc you're afraid of the awkward and embarrassment of blushing for no reason in front of friends. it's actually the reason why I started wearing makeup as I entered highschool. I literally just applied thick concealer all over my face hoping you wouldn't see through it. It wasn't until 21 or so when I decided to start wearing makeup less and be comfortable with being uncomfortable, THAT'S when things really improved. I am so happy to have stumbled on your video, connecting via our experiences is really the beauty of the internet. Thank you for inspiring me to share my own story, I definitely know I'll be emotional too! Looking forward to more of your videos

I already learned the word erythrophobia which ive never heard of before. This video might make me cry because Ive never heard anyone talk about what i deal with even when i look up social anxiety, they often dont talk about of deal with exreme blushing and the extra anxiety/embarrassment that adds. So i have a feeling I am going to relate to this a lot and I will just leave this here, thanks for making this video!!

WOW 🌺 So other people have been through this too !? I feel for every one of you 🙏✨ xx It rarely happens to me these days.. But high school was a nightmare. I even started sun tanning (a lot) so that it wouldn't show that much when I was turning red ! I guess time and new experiences are the best remedies ! Experiencing different social situations (mainly through student jobs) has helped me tremendously. I.e. interacting with new people (who have never seen you red *yet* 🙈) and realising that they don't judge you as you thought they would and that you can actually be yourself around them... And then going through that same realisation with another group of people... That was what helped me the most in building back (most of) my confidance 🌼

Thank you for sharing. You’re bringing awareness, which is HUGE. And I’m betting it’ll even help those who don’t suffer from it, because we may encounter someone who does. Personally, after watching this, I’ll know not to ever laugh about it thinking it’s nothing serious, I’ll know not to make it worse in any way. You’re such a beautiful soul. Thank you again 🙏🏻

I remember in 7th grade my English teacher always picked on me in class. One time I got the answer wrong and he was literallly trying to get the answer out of me and I remember my face went REALLY red. It got to the point where my face started feeling like I was burning so in the end I just put my head down and started crying. Everyone was pointing at me and saying “omg look how red her face is!!” It happens every time the teacher picks on me and every time someone would engage conversation with me. If I would have to do a presentation, I’d rather jump off a bridge and I’m not kidding. And when you talked about the lights being off, I literally started crying. I remember how in history class it is really bright and I would use the excuse “my eyes are sensitive and I get headaches from the light” just so she could turn the lights off. I wanna get help but I feel like there is nothing that will help 😔

Grayyroses I’m a freshman now, but last year was the worst time for me. I said the answer to my math teacher but he pointed out the fact that my face turned red. NO ONE was looking at me until he said that. When I got home I cried so much. The next day someone else got embarrassed and turned red. this had nothing to do with me, but of course he said “not as red as kaylee though”. He constantly did this, and he made my literally want to kill myself.

I'm really glad I found this video. Every time I would try to explain this to anyone they would be like "oh yeah. I blush too" but they had no idea what I meant when I said "it looks like I'm having an allergic reaction". I dropped out of both of my public speaking classes in college because of it along with really bad anxiety. I would get so so nervous when the teacher would call my name even though we didn't even have to do speeches that day. & I HATEED having to do speeches in high school. I remember my English teacher would nod and talk to me during my speech because she realized how hard of a time I was having, I would watch everyone's eyes go from normal to really wide and focused on me like "what is going on with her". I always have to answer questions like "are you okay?", "what's wrong with you?", "do you know you're really red?". I'm glad I have someone to relate to, it's a crappy thing to go through and have all those negative thoughts along with it. Thank you for speaking out about it, you're awesome.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. You are not alone. I get splotchy on my neck and chest. I actually found out it is an allergic reaction. When cortisol releases in the body, it creates histamine and my body is flooded with the hormones and has a reaction. It's so frustrating because it can happen even when I don't feel stressed. If I'm in the sun or my body goes from cool to hot, quickly. Reaction! It's as if your body perceives a threat and reacts. You are not alone.

Thank you for this video! I grew this fear about a few years ago when someone pointed out when I started blushing. After multiple times saying "you're blushing!" I became self conscious. I deal with this more on one-on-one situations fearing when someone gets a close look at me, they will notice. It's good to know that I am not alone and I cried while watching this. You're beautiful, brave and strong!

I struggled so badly throughout all of school with this it was so so awful and so hard to talk about it at the time becausd even talking about it feels so embarrassing its literally so tough at the time.. My dad was the only person i knew who had ever suffered from it.. so so happy now and so better but never thought i would be able to get through life like a "normal person" much love everyone you honestly can and will get better i promise you the best way i think is just to grow on loving yourself so much... because at the end of the day IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS ABOUT YOU OR THE WAY YOU LOOK so just stay strong and remember even if people see you blush IT DOESNT MATTER xxxxx much love... accidentally stumbled on this video but yeah this was a big issue for me when i was younger xx

I didn't know there was a name for this. I related to everything you said. Even wishing I was darker so people couldn't see me turn red; like it's uncanny. I never met someone who experienced this too. I missed out on a lot cause I isolated myself in fear of blushing. I was so tired of it that I turned to alcohol to shake my nervous and be somewhat social during my colleges years. I stopped doing that. Now I'm just trying to not care about blushing. I see some progress, but now noticed it halted and I'm blushing more again. A bit discouraging but I'm going to push through it. Your video made me feel better knowing it's more common then i thought so thank you!

It's been a year since I started with this problem, it's horrible because I can't express myself freely anymore. I remember in school I didn't even care about people looking at me or speaking in public, I wasn't shy, and now I turn red just sitting down. I just feel my life has changed too much, I can't do the things I want to do, I can't eat with my family, go shopping, watch a movie with someone, I didn't even want to write this but I feel like it's too much. And by the way, thank you very much for making this video.

You described my teenage years from 12 to around 21 I dealt with this and everything you described related to my situation as well. It was so hard to deal with even the simplest things.. The lights being off, not being around Red colors so I wouldn't be compared to them, being picked on by teachers and students.. I also had depersonalization, that expierence created a lot of pain in my life, but watching this video and how brave and loving you are to create this video to help others, creates hope and empowers us all that this passes and we can overcome it! I don't have these symptoms as severe as I use to thank God 🙏, but I know I'm still working on the psychological part of healing through the pain and embarrassment those years caused..

I hate blushing, even saying the word “blushing” makes me blush lmao. It’s really affected my life it’s got to the point where I’m drinking alcohol everyday to make me feel confident and not blush when I’m put on the spot. Btw I’m only 17 and really depend on alcohol and can’t do a day without it 😓

Iv fucked up my life because of this. Plz don't think alcohol will help you. Alcohol will eventually have no effect if u get dependant on it an it will make u blush more in the end. Its either surgery which is expensive. Or unfortunatly facing the problem head on. The more u get out meet ppl the more confidence u will get also the more u get out the more life experience meaning problems and problems fill up ur mind.. Meaning the more problems u have the less time in your head worrying about blushing. And try cbt it didn't work for me but it's worth trying x
