Blushing/social anxiety/cure

I have the same problem and I also get nervous very easily. I can sense that I like attention and that I want to talk but when the attention is on me or when I do talk I get very nervous and my face turnes bright red. I also notice that it's much worse if I can't see people's faces. For instance; I changed classes half way through the semester and I felt out of place and that people were judging me. When I was doing my work I couldn't see anyone and I started to turn bright red, I could feel it, and I guess I assumed they were all starring at me, but I knew they weren't. This only happens in big groups, I never blush or get nervous around my family or freinds (out of school), but just being in school makes me nervous, and when I get called on in class my stomach turns and I turn red, it's so embarassing. If I wanted the attention off of me it would make more sense that I wouldn't blush because it just brings the attention right back. I have actually feared the future with this, could you imagine me getting married! My face would be as bright the sun! And speaking at my kids weddings would be a disaster! I don't know how I'll get through a job interview. I'm assuming I have a blushing problem and social anxiety, because the nervous part seems to be different than the face turnign red. I would love to hear if anyone knew how to control this, I've tried taking deep breaths, or thinking of somewhere beautiful and peacful, but nothing happens.
