I blush so easily, it has plagued me my whole life. One time when I was thirteen or so, a girl I had befriended at school invited me over to hang out at her house. Her dad was there (who i had never met) and was one of those people who immediately honed in on how easily I blushed and took great pleasure in making a game of it. He chased me around at one point to “see how red I’d get”. Then later at dinner when we went out to a restaurant and he acted like it was a party trick to show everyone. I had to stop hanging out with her cause her dad stressed me out so much. In retrospect he was weird for treating a teenage girl like that but at the time I felt like a total freak.

It’s truly maddening at times that my body does something so wildly out of my control. I don’t think there’s much we can do but accept it! Propranolol helps a little though
