Q: Scared of Blushing

My name is anthony(24), im a failed student and find it hard to keep job posts.

I am scared of going red, (flushing/blushing), and this stops me achieving, thinking staight, working, studying, loving, breathing!

And I go red alot when im around alot of people(3 or more), im constantly manipulating situations so I dont have to face the impending redness!

I dont know if anyone can understand me!

But this has been continual for years now! (almost ten years!, ever since school), and I really hurting inside! I am now really starting to feel sick and panicked and breathless and lifeless!

I hope for change! Thanks for listening!
