Hi Diane,
Thanks again for your answer.
I read what you said about blushing,and I think it's all completely right,but actually the fact of being 44 years old makes it a bit complicated,because what it can be cute for a teenager,it just seems a bit odd in an adult,but that's not the point.The point is that I've learnt not to worry too much when I blush,and now it's just those seconds that I feel uncomfortable,but immediately after I forget about it and go on with what I was doing...and that's a progress,I think...
Of course I have considered treatment for my phobia,I 've been to two psycologist...One of them told me that is was just an obsession that I would have to get rid of...and concentrate on living...and the other just didn't know anything about social phobia...Neither of them could help me at all...So I stopped thinking about the idea...I know there are special centres and also good profesionals and this problem can be treated very well by them,in Barcelona (my city) etc...but the problem is that long treatments required for this disorder cost lots of money,which I don't have at the moment...I've really tried to look for help different times during my life,but,.in one case,the lack of knowledge and in the other my lack of money...So I've tried to manage it on my own...I live much better now than ten years ago,so I feel fine at the moment,although I would really like to go on a treatment,etc,etc...I would do it very willingly,absolutely.
I will read the sites your sent me about blushing with special attention.
And one last question...How is it possible that a person like me,strong,determined,more or less intelligent,educated,who has done so difficult and courageous things in life...isn't able to solve this problem in a complete way??? Again brain chemistry,genetics,etc....But I still don't understand...
Thank you very much for your help.
