I'm a 27 yr old who enjoys speaking in public, big or small groups. I honestly enjoy attention. I work in investment banking so am frequently in front of clients. Believe me, I enjoy presenting and answering questions so no fear on that front. As a baby, I had a very rosey face but when I came to NY from Italy as a child, my skin pretty much went pale. I have sensitive skin so the slightest touch or emotion will make it a bit red. I don't have the problem with specific people but I will blush out of the blue and when friends point it out, it just makes it worse. Oddly enough, I'm a walking contradiction as I like to talk about anything and nothing really embarasses me but over the past few years, I've felt/noticed it more and more. I find that relaxing or joking or smiling before speaking frequently helps with the blushing. So whenever it's a "ok, now it's your turn to talk" situation, it usually happens but if I'm brought into a meeting discussion early as part of a conversation more than a separate part, I'm fine. Anyway, I just wanted to make the point that a lot of times it has nothing to do with being timid or lacking confidence or having fear and more of the, "oh, people have said I blush so I'm probably going to blush now so here I go..."
