If you are suffering from social phobia or are suffering from social anxiety you've probably noticed that you have a common issue of blushing also.
This can usual occur when you are brought to the center of attention.
You think that everybody is looking at you and making judgement, this makes you unsettled quickly.
It's hard to understand that some people relish being the centre of attention isn't it? The feeling of anxiety is quite common when someone is introduced to a new group or a gathering of people.
The unusual attention creates an unfamiliar feeling in the people and they go red in the situation.
As blushing is so obvious and the feeling so intense it can feel that there is no help to the problem.
The anticipation of going red is going to make you go red in itself, as the feeling of going red feel uncontrollable, people start to avoid social interaction or big gatherings.
The more they keep thinking about it the more they increase the possibility of blushing while they are in front of people and the cycle repeats itself.
People who need help with the blushing issues can use some self-help steps to try not to blush.
Below is a list of few strategies that one might find useful in avoiding the blushing for no apparent reason.

1. Bring the attention to yourself: yes, this may sound like a strange advice but as strange as it is, the same amount of truth is behind it.
   You blush when you are brought into the centre of attention, so in order to face your fear about this you should encourage being in social situation to learn from.
   From now on try not to avoid the entire social experience and spend some time in social situations, if you get invited out, go.
   Getting some attention by yourself gives you the confidence to speak with motivation and comfort.
   If you go red, so what? You'll start to over time forget that you ever went red.
   
2. Get yourself some confidence.
   If you are talented at something start to do more of it.
   You can also buy books on how to increase your confidence and feel better about yourself.
   The same way that you make yourself go red is the same way you let yourself know that you're confident.
   What do you think the people who are super confident tell themselves over and over again?
3. Stop feeling so responsible for blushing: Stop feeling bad about your blushing nature.
   It's nothing to be embarrassed about and you don't need to feel responsible for the random thoughts that your mind creates on certain occasions.
   Be brave and face it, it's not like you have done something wrong.
   Many of the people having trouble with the blushing believe that the blushing makes them less wanted in the public matters, which is wrong.
   
4. You can stop blushing by learning to relax when it's about to occur.
   When you go red you're body tenses up as you try to resist going red.
   It may feel a little unnatural at first but try to relax and let go of your thoughts.
   Drop your shoulders keep your breathing slow paced.
   If someone has said something to embarrass you then you don't have to accept it.
   Put the feeling back on to them by not accepting what they've said.
   This can be done with a simple look.
   

Social anxiety can be tough to overcome at first but as you start to notice when it occurs and start to accept it you will start to see an improvement in your confidence.
