Do you blush?

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

I understand the jacket and hood big brother....but why the bandana?

the Facewrap is just to hide my face I have Scopophobia the fear of being stared at or being noticed

[Kankuro 233]

I NEVER blush.

 

But if its something extremely embarrassing, never anything else, my EARS feel burning hot and go red.

 

Im a weirdo

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Yes I blush at times. I blush when somebody else blushes or if I'm too happy. It's embarrassing when I blush in public.

[DubWolf 17,263]

I rarely blush, but I might blush if I'm having one of those "oh stop it you" moments (getting complimented). Or I might blush if.. Well yeah .

 

..

 

If I'm performing pretty well .

.....what is the point of blushing?

If you're looking for the scientific explanation:

 

 

Blushing is linked to your fight-or-flight response (the system that helps you have the oxygen, speed etc. to escape a stressful situation- flight- or stay there and endure- fight.

 

 

When you're embarrassed, your body releases adrenaline, which helps breathe up your breathing and heart rate, redirect energy to your muscles, and so on. All of these effects account for the jolt you feel when you find yourself embarrassed.

 

 

Adrenaline also causes your blood vessels to dilate, in order to improve blood flow and oxygen delivery. This links in with blushing. The veins in your face respond to a signal from a chemical transmitter which tells the veins to allow the adrenaline to do its magic. As a result, the veins in your face dilate, allowing more blood to flow through them than usual, creating the reddened appearance that tells others you're embarrassed. In other words, adrenaline causes more local blood flow in your cheeks- blushing is just a side-effect, I guess.

No, I don't think I'm physically capable of it to be honest.

 

Whenever I get embarassed, my face just gets really hot and sweaty, but never turns red. 

[Will Guide 21,360]

Yes, I do blush...   a lot......  especially during awkward moments  

[Shadowking58 1,137]

I always wondered how the hell do you know when your blushing? I mean, you can't even see your own cheeks.

[Ricebug 555]

I've never seen it happen to someone but I am sure I have a ton. I can feel my face get hot when embarrased, basically just being in public does it to me, I feel like everyone is staring at me

You know you are blushing when your cheeks feel "tingly"....at least for me.

[Hashi 323]

Nobody ever notices me, I'm just part of the furniture xD.

Much prefer it that way

[Discordly Cutiepie 2,065]

i blush lots it happens because people seem to lwys say really nice things to me even if i dont do anything

 

or when im talking to people i like i blush then people know if i love them or just think them as a really good friend if they make me blush

[Sugar Cuddles 402]

My cheeks light up so easily >///< I can FEEL them getting warm when I blush. Just from small comments like "You're pretty cool" or "That's awesome" from things I do as well o-o :

*flails violently and falls over. Twitching every so often*

[Thuja 3,659]

I blush more than I like to admit...  Being as pale as I am magnifies my blushing too.  I hate blushing considering how many awkward situations it has caused me  ...

[Jook 26]

I can blush pretty easily, if you make me angry I sometimes blush a bit, when someone compliments me I get all shy and I blush like hell XD So yeah, I blush

[Lacerna 1,302]

I am the master of blushing. It happens a lot when someone is talking with me. I know I'm not nervous to talk with them, but I just feel myself start to get flushed, and then I don't know what to say and then I become a mess. 

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

The short answer is no. At least not anymore. I used to blush as often as the next person, but eventually I stopped. Suppose I've just been around the block a few times and experienced enough by this point in life that nothing really phases me in that way now. Talking to anybody about anything is easy as pie.

 

I do sometimes make others blush for the wrong reasons. I recall a former coworker who was a pretty attractive lady asking me to do something out of the ordinary for me job(can't even remember what), tossing me a little a wink and a sidelong smile when she did. Whatever it was, no harm would have been done, she was just trying to get the work she needed done expedited above the rest, but when I just stared back stone-faced, she blushed and left the room.

 

So don't even try to make me blush. Might backfire on you.

 

*flails violently and falls over. Twitching every so often*

Aww, you adorable thing.

*pinches your little sugary cheeks*

[Christmasy Britty 2,553]

oh I blush all the time for many different reasons I blush in front of crowds when I do a presentation in front of an audience I blush when I'm sick sometimes I also blush when my bf says something really romantic or naughty or when I'm naughty depending on the situation

[Skye 463]

No, not really. I've never really blushed. I might get flustered, but my face doesn't turn pink.

[Moonlight 7,286]

According to other people, I do blush, I hate it though because it's extremely embarrassing. 

[Peppermint Larry 203]

I can feel my face get hot when I have to present at school, when I embarrass myself by screwing something up, or when I have to talk about my feelings or whatnot. Here lately, my face gets all hot after every therapist appointment. :/

 

Other than that, nope.
