It seems like anything can trigger my blushing these days. I can just be sitting at a table in school, talking to someone, getting something out of my backpack, and I start to turn extremely red. It's really killing my confidence because I've noticed that some people are noticing that I turn red at the drop of a hat, and I see them glare/whisper about me. I think they mistake my blushing for me liking the boy sitting at my table, but it's really not; it's more like I'm just so afraid of being judged because of my blushing. My blushing has earned me so much pain because the girlfriends of some boys think I like their boyfriends.. but they don't understand that virtually anything like talking to any boy can set my blushing off. Nowadays all I notice at school are the popular people glaring and whispering about me (it doesn't matter if at that moment I'm blushing or not), and I really dread going to school because of them. I feel like I'll never be normal or liked ever again..

I really do try to hang out with my friends, but almost in every class I'm seated with those in my school who judge me for my blushing. I'm extremely nervous because they always give each other meaningful stares and whispers as I sit with them, which causes me to blush even more. I wish that I could just be a normal person..

Btw, these people aren't my friends, but the "popular" kids at my school.

You are not alone. I had/have the same problem. When I was in elementary school it was extremely bad. Any time I was called on, it would happen. For me I think it was a matter of being in very uncomfortable situations. I hated my school because the kids were very judgmental and picked on the few kids who lived in the poorer nieghborhood across the tracks. But as I got older and more comfortable it subsided. Occasionally it still happenes, but only in very "on-the-spot" situations like public speaking, which makes me feel even worse when I can feel it happening. I don't worry about it so much, but if I was younger, I would go to the doc for it and see if any meds can treat it.

Idiopathic Craniofacial Erythema is a medical condition characterised by severe, uncontrollable, and frequently unprovoked, facial blushing.
Blushing can occur at any time and is frequently triggered by even mundane events, such as, talking to friends, paying for goods in a shop or asking for directions. The redness can take several minutes to dissipate leaving the sufferer feeling exposed and embarrassed.
o.c. This is a social disorder, sweden is experimenting with surgery to calm symptoms but otherwise therapy is the only other choice, I have this too and it can be disabling.

Don't worry...
i blush a lot too
... and if your friends are talking about you, i would confront them, or at least tell them whats happening...
i dont think its right to talk about someone behind their back... thats just rude...
and if they were your friends i dont think they trully belive your trying to take their boyfriends... thats just stupid
wait... are your friends preps?
All of the preps at my school love to hate each other and are so preoccupied trying to sheild their boyfriends from the rest of the world...
in that case my theory is that preps are immature and they'll grow out of it... hopefully
so if your friends are preps- theyll hopefully grow out of it (i suggest you find a really cute, nice, new guy friend... some guys think blushing is cute)
if they're not- confront them. tell them your not a buttface ( if they were your friends they should belive what you say... true friends always do) =]

i also had that problem! i usually let myself be aware of the things that make me want to blush...then if you're in the situation where you're cheeks are about to heat up, just breath in and out and think of other things!
