How can i avoid blushing in class?


Recommended Posts

No need to avoid it, and here's why.

Blushing is healthy for your skin because blood rushes to and through it

and probably the most important reason: Most girls think it's damn cute when a guy blushes.

But if you really think you must avoid it, just relax, don't worry too much about what others might think of you.

i am with you! Infact i was known round school for 'going red' people would even say 'ya going red...' just to make me go red, i still blush when someone speaks 2 me at work. i dont see it can be overcame jsut try n have more confiendence i did and it works, however i still blush just not as much, i learned to live with it

I go through phases of blushing all over the place. In fact, there was a time when the people at work could say "blush" and I would blush on cue, but we made a joke of it.

I know it's hard to deal with because you worry that you blush, which makes you more self conscious which makes you blush more. I find that when I'm feeling more confident and more importantly not thinking about blushing, it is less of a problem. It is possible to blag confidence and brazen it out which will probably help after a while. Whatever you do, don't give in to any desire to hide and stop speaking up in class because this will make it harder for you.

i had the same problem at one point in my life, and of course when i was in highschool, everyone HAD to point it out. :)

Blushing is simply an involuntary nervous system response. You're simply just a little anxious about public speaking, and there's really no cure for this except to get up and do it more such to the point that you feel comfortable doing it.

Here are the steps i took, part of it being mental and part of it being physical. First and foremost, control your breathing when you have to speak. Take longer slower breaths. When this was an issue for me, i noticed myself panicing to the point where my heart would be beating faster and my breathing sped up a bit. Control this... just be calm and collected. You're in charge of the situation, so dont let yourself get the best of you.

Secondly, you need to condition yourself mentally to understand that all you're doing is speaking to a class of peers. It's as simple as that. These people aren't here to judge you :) They're likely interested in what you have to say as long as you're able to present yourself with confidence. This is really something that comes with practice and conditioning. My advice, every chance you have to speak publically, do it so you can get over the anxiety.

Lastly, and this was a big point for me, is preparation. If you know you're going to give a presentation, be sure you know what you're presenting. Practice the presentation itself and understand the topics you're speaking about such that you can answer questions knowledgably and with confidence. There was a point where i got over blushing during the presentation, but once it got to Q&A from my peers, i would lock up and blush once i didnt know the answer to one of their questions. Preparedness helped with this as well as a willingness to admit with confidence when i didnt have an answer.

I started college the worst public speaker i knew and graduated as someone who was invited to multiple Business School events to speak based on my abilities. It's honestly all about controlling yourself physically and understanding that as long as you know what you're speaking about and are willing to put yourself out there and present with confidence, that there's really nothing to be anxious about.

Hope this helps a bit :)

As everyone said relax, and yes most girls do dig it. ;) Also, if that doesn't help just imagine someone massively ugly you know, and imagine them naked and standing in front of you instead of the person your blushing at. That will make anything go down. :laugh:

Hey,

Most of the responses here are pretty good....... although I have to tell you that blushing is an autonomic response (an involuntary response). Sort of like "fight or flight" syndrome that makes your heart speed up when you are scared. You can not really control that.

If there is a specific situation that causes it (like public speaking) then, by all means, take some classes to get over your worst fears. But there will always be that ONE situation that may trigger this.

With experience in most social situations, you should be able to be less stressed.......

About the blushing, interesting problem ... Blushing would be cool as if you could control it, girls love it !

Yeh just anxiety you need to overcome i guess ... So as long as you just keep speaking and trying it should pass unless its really serious...

"Blushing is often attributed to social phobia ? the fear of being judged, criticised, and evaluated by other people. Social phobia can manifest itself in a number of ways ? some people find that they sweat profusely in response to emotional or social stimuli, whereas others find that they fidget or blush uncontrollably."

    • PC gaming is stalling as well, recent analyst post I read is that it will stall for at least two years because of prices, tariffs and AI demand impacting GPU cost and availability. So far the only console to go up in price has been the Xbox. Which IMHO is just part of Microsoft’s plans to get out of the traditional insole market and move to a “Xbox” console that is just a PC made by an OEM with a Xbox sticker on it.

    • KB5060829: Microsoft makes Windows 11 File Explorer, Search faster with Build 26100.4482 by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released a new Release Preview build for Windows 11 Insiders. The new build, 26100.4482, under KB5060829, improves the performance of the File Explorer in case of extracting archives. The company says "has been enhanced when extracting archive files" and that the improvement will mainly be felt "in the case of copy pasting large numbers of files out of large 7z or .rar archives." Aside from File Explorer, Microsoft says that users can also expect a snappier Search. Microsoft notes that earlier the feature would respond "very slowly—the Search Box can take over 10 seconds to load before you can use it." Besides those, Taskbar has also received an improvement as it will better use the available real estate space more effectively with new ability to resize icons so more apps can fit. The build also brings new PC Migration tool. Start menu pins have also changed You can view the full changelog below: Gradual rollout [App defaults] New! We are rolling out some small changes in the EEA region for default browsers via the Set default button in Settings > Apps > Default apps: Additional file and link types will be set for the new default browser, if it registers them. The new default browser will be pinned to the Taskbar and Start menu unless you choose not to pin it by clearing the checkboxes. There is now a separate one-click button for browsers to change your .pdf default, if the browser registers for the .pdf file type. [Start menu] New! For Admins, the Configure Start Pins policy now includes an option to apply Start menu pins only once. This means users will receive the admin Start menu pins on their first sign-in (day 0), but afterward, they can personalize their pinned layout, and those changes will be retained. This policy can also be applied through group policy, in addition to the existing configuration service provider (CSP) method. [Taskbar & System Tray] New! The taskbar now resizes icons to fit more apps when space runs low, keeping everything visible and easy to access. You can adjust how icons appear in settings—reduce icon size only when the taskbar is full (default), keep icons at their original size at all times by selecting Never, or use smaller icons all the time by selecting Always. To change this setting, right-click an empty area on the taskbar, select Taskbar settings, expand the Taskbar behaviors section, and choose your preference under Show smaller taskbar buttons. New! In addition to the new grouping of the Accessibility menu in Quick settings, there are text descriptions for the assistive technologies like Narrator, Voice access, and more for easier identification and learning. New! Adjusted the indicator (pill) under taskbar apps to make it wider and more visible. Fixed: Clicking the top third of the buttons in the top row doesn’t work to enable or disable the button. Fixed: WIN + CTRL + Number doesn’t work anymore for switching windows of an open app in the taskbar Fixed: When using taskbar in Windows, the media controls that appear in the preview windows for apps might unexpectedly flicker. [Windows Share] New! When you share links or web content using the Windows share window, you will see a visual preview for that content. New! In the Windows share window, you can select a compression level—High, Medium, or Low Quality—when editing and sharing images, instead of selecting from a 0–100 scale. [PC Migration] We’re beginning the rollout of a new PC-to-PC migration experience in Windows. You’ll start to see the landing and the pairing page in the Windows Backup app, giving you a first look at what’s coming. In the full experience, you will be able to transfer your files and settings from your old PC to the new one during the PC setup process. Support during the PC setup will be available in a future update. We are releasing in phases for a smooth experience and will provide more details soon. [File Explorer] Improved: Performance has been enhanced when extracting archive files – this will particularly help in the case of copy pasting large numbers of files out of large 7z or .rar archives. Narrator New! The Screen Curtain feature in Narrator helps protect your privacy and improve focus by blacking out the screen while Narrator reads content aloud. This is especially helpful in public or shared spaces, where you can work with sensitive information without others seeing your screen. To turn on Narrator, press Ctrl + Windows + Enter. Then press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C to enable Screen Curtain. While it’s on, you can use Narrator as usual with the screen hidden. Press Caps Lock + Ctrl + C again to turn it off. New! Narrator makes it easier to discover and learn about its features directly within the experience. Whether you’re new or exploring advanced options, Narrator will guide you through the latest updates using a series of steps and prompts that explain each new feature and change. [Voice Access] New! You can now use voice access to navigate, dictate, and interact with Windows using voice commands in Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. New! You can add custom words to the dictionary in voice access. The feature will be available in all the currently supported voice access languages. [Settings] New! The Settings homepage on PCs managed by IT administrators now includes cards tailored for enterprise use. These include familiar options like “Recommended settings” and “Bluetooth devices,” along with two cards for device info and accessibility preferences. If a user signs in with both a work or school account and a Microsoft account, an additional accounts card appears to show both account types. New! Added the country or region selected during device setup under Settings > Time & language > Language & region. Fixed: The storage card in Settings > System > About shows an incorrect or unreadable character instead of the proper disk size. [Windowing] Fixed: When you ALT + Tab out of a full screen game, other windows (like Windows Terminal might stop responding. Fixed: An underlying issue might lead to unexpected window size and position changes after sleep/resume for some devices. Fixed: Explorer.exe might stop working unexpectedly when dragging a window if window snapping is enabled. [Scripting] Fixed: Running a script on a remote SMB share might take an unexpectedly long time if the share was an older Windows Server version like Windows Server 2019. [Graphics] Improved: Made some underlying changes to help improve display related user experiences, including reducing screen flashing in some display configuration transitions and removing unnecessary display resets which was happening in some cases. Fixed: Certain displays might be unexpectedly green. Fixed: If User Account Control (UAC) is set to Always Notify and the button under Settings > System > Display for color calibration is selected for your display and canceled, Settings will stop responding. [Color Filters] Improved: Adjusted the location of the intensity and color boost sliders under Settings > Accessibility > Color Filters, so the color previews at the top of the page are visible while adjusting the sliders. [Input] Fixed: Typing Japanese with the touch keyboard may stop working after switching to typing with an English keyboard and back. [Printing] Fixed: Printed lines might be unexpectedly thicker than expected. [MSFTEdit.dll] Fixed: Some apps like Sticky Notes and dxdiag might stop working when the display language is set to Arabic or Hebrew. Normal rollout [Copilot] Fixed: Improved the Copilot key’s reliability and resolved an issue that prevented users from restarting Copilot after using the key. [Performance] Fixed: This update addresses an issue to maintain efficiency of Storage Spaces Direct (S2D). When running complex software defined data center (SDDC) related workflows, it’s possible the system might become unresponsive. [Storage optimization] Fixed: An issue that prevented unused language packs and Feature on Demand packages from being fully removed, which led to unnecessary storage use and longer Windows Update installation times. [Windows Search] Fixed: Windows Search responds very slowly—the Search Box can take over 10 seconds to load before you can use it. Fixed: This update enhances the reliability of Windows Search and resolves an issue that prevented users from typing in Windows Search in some cases.
