I'm 17 currenly and in high shcool and overly blushing is not fun in the least. People find utter amusement in my "condition" and laugh at my blood red face. They gawk of how red it gets and it really bugs me. I fear I may never find love because of this blushing problem, and when they gawk at me it makes me feel I never will. Its not just the girls who can make me blush either, its sooo agervating any stikin guy who I don't find any interest in (I'm straight btw) can make a provacative comment to send my face into a flare. Almost anything can cause this "reaction", it hurts me deeply. In fact I'm still blushing from my class. The girls especialy bug me about it by showing false interest in me, which my face goes red and my confidence goes down. Though I try to make it day to day, I always find myself blushing at almost every situation. In my theator glass when we make impromt speeches, the girls always rant in the back ,which you guessed it, turns me into a tomato, and they don't stop they keep it going; I don't want to go back to that class. They are always toying with my feelings.
They never see the hurt in my eyes just the red on my face. In my Chemistry class I sit in the back, because I once accidently touched a teacher's behind when I was moving my book to the floor. I got harassed for weeks. In fact when we graduate its gonna be one of those "remember when moments". I've often thought of suicide, though not have the guts to pull it off. I'm already mainly socially dead as it is. It hurts it really does. I'm average looking and above average in my grades, but with this problem I feel so restrained. I'm wishing for a cure. Don't give up on life, though I've just not had the brightest happiest life, and other reasons contribute to the thought of.
Red faced, blue eyes.

Hello, fellow self-analyzing tomato-face turning, friends
