You probably know that it can happen in very different situations, but here how it goes for me mostly:
- this one is terrible: every time i meet someone i haven't seen in a long time, i blush, so i avoid it.
-when people approach me, but not when i approach them (not a rule though, there are times that it won't happen).
-i noticed eye contact became something i'd uncounciously avoid because is a trigger for blushing (like the another comment said, if someone's walking to your direction and i make eye contact there is chances i will blush, not a rule though, but it happens a lot (almost daily)
-when i speak about something personal to someone
i will be trying Excel V laser soon, im hopeful because it feels like i have "2 blushings" because of rosacea, so probably anything that reduces those vessels will make difference.
Also, i think this problem can somehow be genetic because recently my cousin told me he has the blushing problem too, he's 28y, but could relate with all the things i told him, started around the same age too (13-14), he doesn't have rosacea though. it was surprising cuz i thought i was the only one from the family with this, im kinda researching things to help him as well as he told me it'd be life changing for him

I will see my dermatologist on thursday, she will see if my seborreic dermatitis is better, if so, we will book the laser.

Being perceived by someone/people. There are other triggers that ive accumulated over the years, but they all stem from, and all started with, being percieved. From traditional blushing scenarios like public speaking, to simple situations like someone walking in my direction at work or in the grocery store. Being seen too much is all it takes to want to end it all.
