Do you feel more of a tendency to feel anxious and tremble or blush in front of "attractive" or "outgoing" type of people?

Not so much attractive, but if they're really loud and obnoxious I turn into a shaking leaf. I would love to be loud, but I'm also terrified of loud people. Go figure!

If a good looking or even just a confident girl comes within 30 feet of me, close enough so that they can see me i become extremely self aware and get paranoid about everything.

I'm usually prone to getting nervous and blushing whenever someone approaches me first and is the aggressor. UNLESS of course we're in a dimly lit room or outside in the dark (or right in direct bright sunlight so that it's so bright it's hard to see anything).

For me, what causes my blushing most often is the FEAR of blushing and others noticing it. If I know it would be difficult to "notice" a blush, it won't happen. Weird! Department stores, grocery stores, and office buildings are the worst- florescent lighting!! Over the years the excessive blushing has caused totally visible social anxiety like trembling hands, quivering voice, etc. It's really just an embarrassing day to day existence being me.

And really hot chicks will definately set off my "fight or flight" nerve responses: my heart beats really fast, I can't talk, and I can feel my face getting hot. This really sucks because I don't judge people by their looks and I treat everyone as equals- regardless of how they look, their race, or how intelligent they might be. My body reacts in complete opposition to the way my mind WANTS to react! Good looking women are no better as people than anyone else, I don't know why my mind tortures me like this. I want to be comfortable in front of everyone. Why is this so difficult for me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Yeah me here. I usually blush around these types if I think I made the most minor of mistakes. Then I have to find a way out of there!

I'm a 27 year old female and have a problem with men, usually ones I find attractive - I tend to avoid them, as if I'm in their company, I feel really akward and start to blush. Anyone else feel the same?

Yup, same here. But for some reason my blushing/trembling embarrasment episodes will also happen in the presence of someone I'm not all that attracted to as well. It's like it's their extrovertedness that catches me off guard and sets off my SA. Really frustrating because the female it happens in front of might think that I have a crush on them or something, when that's not the case at all. What's worse is that if it happens in front of a guy he will probably think that I'm gay. Considering I'm 100% hetero that's a big problem.

I only blush if theres a lot of people looking at me, especially if those people are guys..

Attractive women set it off, but outgoing people who i am not attracted to (men, mostly) tend to calm me down.
