It’s getting really hard dealing with Erythrophobia. If you don’t know what that is, you can google it, too.
Erythrophobia is a phobia linked with social anxiety. Basically you blush. A lot. Like, beyond red. Sometimes it’s just a little, sometimes a lot. It can be just your face, just your ears, just your neck, or maybe all of those. People try curing Erythrophobia by seeing a therapist, taking special medications (however they aren’t aproved by the FDA) having hypnosis, or even going through a risky and extremely painful procedure called endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy. (google that if you have questions).
I have Erythrophobia and it affects my day to day life. I won’t talk to certain people. I won’t get certain jobs, I avoid social situations and the hardest thing is- almost no one knows about this. Any suggestions or kind words?
Here’s something from an article about Erythrophobia that is very true for me:
To people who have never experienced problem blushing, Erythrophobia, is likely to seem silly and be very difficult to understand. However, Erythrophobia is no laughing matter. For those who suffer from Erythrophobia, it is a very real and serious concern. The tendency to blush excessively, combined with an irrational fear of blushing that triggers additional blushing, can affect every component of daily life.
It is not uncommon for people with Erythrophobia to develop additional social phobias as they seek ways to avoid blushing. They are very likely to experience feelings of hopelessness and withdraw from situations that require human interaction on any level. People who experience Erythrophobia commonly develop depression.
By raising awareness of Erythrophobia and problem blushing, the general public will hopefully become more understanding of the serious nature of this problem. (cont:
As problem blushing becomes more widely understood for the serious problem that it is, people who suffer from problem blushing may be able to become less self-conscious about their problem.
i have THE same problem. Like the littlest things make me blush and its sooo embarrasing. I didnt even know that there was a technical term for it. It is hard living with this because its like "oh god ami going to blush now?" and i do. Ive tried to relax and try not to blush but it just happens. I probably didnt answer your question, because i dont know how, but your not alone
