There are a lot of threads on here about blushing.. Which makes sense. A lot of people with SA blush. But i have to say even well-known and popular people blush. Some people think its cute. I think its all in your mind as to whether you let it affect you and get embarrassed by it.

Well anyway, I do blush sometimes. I have really fair skin, and theres a pink tone to it. So blushing happens pretty easily with me. But i titled this asking if anyone gets "flushed"? Because i feel like i dont have a blushing problem as much as i just get FLUSHED... what i mean by flushed is.. when I am worn out, hot, if i just worked out, tired, its late at night, if i am mad or stressed about something, or yes, the obvious one embarrassed. I guess i am kind of high strung in general. But is this something different than blushing???? And are there ways to prevent it like blushing???

I NEVER have to buy make up blush because i am naturally pink-toned ;) As much as I am not overly concerned about it, i wish it didnt happen so much.. because it draws attention to yourself and its annoying..

Blushing and flushing mean the same thing, except for "flushing" is usually a term that doctors (and not common people) use.

They are not the same thing.

Anyway, I find myself flushing easily. Today, for example, I was outside on my break from work and it was freezing, so my face got a bit red, which I hate. Nonetheless, I prefer the redness I get from being cold than the one I get from being embarassed/shy. During Summer time, I don't really mind it, because everyone has a decent explanation for being red and I can always give the excuse that I was under the sun bla bla bla (which is mostly true - I love biking and similar things when it's really hot and blue out).
