interesting comments -- but I think its a sympathetic reaction that I have no control over -- and I think if anyone blushed and others noticed it and commented on it -- psychologically you would feel a bit ashamed or at least embarrassed -- because blushing is connecting to being embarrased. But the problem is -- I'm not embarassed at all. The blushing makes me feel that way -- because people think something is wrong -- its no different than talking to someone whose eyes begin to turn purple....:-)
> Hey, I know you want to talk about medication, but blushing is so interesting. It's like embarrassment, no? But can you blush without the feeling of being found out? (Don't ask me about what. Once you blush you have been found out as a blusher, perhaps it suggests you have something to hide). It's not the feeling of having been caught out in some (quite possibly nonexistent) subterfuge, is it?
