Hi ! I have suffered with facial blushing, social anxiety and erythrophobia (fear of going red) for many years. This generally only happens in work and it's gotten so bad recently. when people talk to me i blush! It's crazy because they only have ask me how i am and i go beetroot. For me, i hate to be centre of attention and if anyone asks me a question infront of another person i get even worse. I really love my job but feel that this is holding me back. I feel as though i am quite young (23) (conpared to alot of them at work who are mostly in their 30s) so i kinda been inferior.
My biggest problem athe moment is making an annoucement that is sure to get me some attention - positive attention - but still it's going to make me blush like crazy! I am 4 and a half weeks pregnant and it was planned so we're over the moon but im really dreading telling people at work! It's not that im not proud or happy but its just i know i will go red when people make a fuss or congratulate me. I'm not planning on telling them until i'm 12 wks but have already told my boss as i know this is for insurance purposes. Please help me ! any tips ??? i dont want to stress for the next 7 and 1/2 weeks because i dont want it to affect my baby.
