I am an attractive and self-confident person who is outspoken and social.Whenever I feel a anxious in a social setting, I get very flushed and red and blotchy. Most people will blush a little, but this is so obvious it just makes me more nervous. I am always articulate and my body language is relaxed.....so no one would even know I'm feeling nervous if it wasnt' for the stupid rash all over my face and neck! It's ridiculous. Situations like when I have to give my opinion at a PTA meeting and all eyes are on me, or when I'm with a difficult client, or if I have to tell someone off.....it happens and then suddenly I look like an idiot. I want to avoid those situations altogether, but these are normal life situations that anyone can deal with! Next year I'm VP of the PTA at my kids' school and I wonder how the heck I'm gonna speak my mind without the tell-tale sign giving me away. It first happened when I was suprised at my bridal shower when I was 22. Anyone else have this?
