Physiologically, blushing is a marked, visible reddening of one's cheeks, face, ears and even neck, resulting from superficial blood cells increasing in volume. This blood cell dilation is an autonomic (involuntary) response, typically associated with modesty, embarrassment or shame.

Blushing Scenario Number One

You're up on the podium, getting ready to deliver the sales pitch that you've been rehearsing for weeks. You've got it down pat. You're a pro. You know your stuff. But all of a sudden...you start feeling a little queasy. And then you sense it - you're starting to blush. You know that your cheeks and ears are getting red as a lobster and you feel mortified. Why should this happen? There is no logical reason in the world for you to feel anxious. There is no good reason on earth why you should blush. It's just not fair! You are REALLY ANGRY. Why is this happening? Once again, social anxiety and blushing are sabotaging your professional life...

Blushing Scenario Number Two

You're sitting with your colleagues at work, and make a comment. No one responds - they keep on talking as though they didn't hear you. You feel a sudden anxiety - a really uncomfortable pit in your stomach. Your face is turning BRIGHT RED. Your co-workers are looking at you. Maybe what you said was really stupid. Or maybe they're laughing at your red face. Why did you say anything at all? You're embarrassed, you fear being judged, and your face gets even redder - if that's possible. You have a deep fear of blushing - it visibly exposes your basic sense of insecurity. You wish you could run away, turn invisible, disappear. Next time, you just won't say anything...so that maybe you won't blush and stand out. Next time, maybe you'll just not show up at the meeting...

Social discomfort, leading to anxiety, leading to blushing, leading to self-consciousness and embarrassment for blushing, leading to self-criticism, leading to avoidance... These are real life endless-loop scenarios that play in the lives of real people.
