Lately ive been having a problem with my face getting red whenever im embarrassed or stressed about anything really. i guess i always had it but it got worse when on time i was laughing so hard my face was red and this asshole who wont stop picking on me started calling me tomato face. Ever since that i would get super self-conscious and embarrassed about it and anything would make my face red. like whenever i was talking to someone and i noticed that they were really listening to me, or especially when a stranger talked to me. Or whenever i had to speak in front of a group, or even when at a small table of friends i was talking and i noticed everyone was listening to me idk why but i would panic stumble and turn red. it got so bad that i started isolating myself from social situations to stop this. wtf is wrong with me and is this a panic attack and how do i stop it?

@Killmenowplz I Googled uncontrolled blushing, and there seems to be disagreement about it. Some people think it's a form of social anxiety, and some people think it's some kind of problem with your nervous system. You can Google it yourself and find a lot of information, including tips on what you can do. If the tips don't work, your doctor might have some ideas about it. A therapist could tell you whether a few sessions of therapy might stop it.

@nowplz Is it accompanied by a severe feeling of anxiety and the feeling of not being able to breathe? A feeling of losing control? Racing heart, chest pains, and or faintness? If so, It is most likely a panic attack, but if you don't identify with these symptoms, it could possibly be a form of social anxiety like an earlier answer mentioned? If you ever need to talk to someone, I'm always here dear. ❤ I know how it feels to have a social interaction completely change the course of how you behave around others and even wanting to isolate yourself. I completely understand where you're coming from. Please don't ruminate on his silly teasing and allow it to hinder your life, his words are insignificant
