Do you blush and your face turns red when you are appreciated unexpectedly in a gathering or in a group or amongst your friends? Do you become self-conscience that all are paying their undivided attention towards you? How do you react in such an unexpected situations? Please share your experiences and thoughts with me. Thanks in advance.

I don't really blush....but I am embarassed when I am praised. If it sounds like genuine praise, I accept the compliment gracefully and change the topic.
But if it is obvious flattery and I am caught off guard, I find myself blabbering and trying to ignore what was said.

Embarrasment includes blushing also, I believe....LOL!
The intention of my question was, when you get caught off guard, you feels emabarrsed....
Thanks for sharing!!

Hi deepak,
Let me first of all tell you that in this rude world of today, it is not easy to get true appreciation for your work from anybody. But if I am really appreciated by someone, I don't blush but I get touched deep inside and tears start rolling down my eyes........since last few years I have lost control on my tears, they just come out for little reasons. But after I have cried a bit, I do feel happy and fell inspired and get ready to work more hard as it is nice feeling to know that your hard work is not in vain , but appreciated at last.
I may blush if someone made a romantic comment saying that you look so beautiful or your eyes are like deep sea etc etc.(you know those filmi dialouges.......such comments do make every women smile and blush.....

As you know I am very pregnant right now and if anyone gets more atention then me then God help them. I cant drink, eat, talk, sit without anyone making a coment. I hate it. I mean how many times a day do I have to say "I am fine" or yes I know I am huge and yes I know I have lost a lot of weight. Everyone just stares at me and there is no excaping.

I have mentioned so many times so I asumed you knew. The due date is not soon enough :)))) 19th April I just hope its sooner than that as I have been pregnant forever (I found out when I was only days pregnant 2 weeks at the most) so it seems like 2 years so far.

Hello deepak! I don't think I blushed everytime someone appreciated me. I am not used to it anyway..hehe..If someone will appreciate me, I will just say thank you to the person and give him/her the appreciation he/she deserves too.

Hello! Aisa! You say that you donot blush everytime, it means you blush on some of the occasions........LOL!
My advice is keep a small mirror handy with you and observe, youself in the that mirror, when someone pays compliments to you, see if there is any indication of blushing on your face.........LOL!
Thanks for dropping in!!!!

I do not blush when sombody appreciate me ..I just become happy and more confident and kinda nervous too because now I have to handle all those unwanted attention over me ..!!
Getting compliments is good and it just makes me more happy.
But obviously if someone makes a comment on some of the parts of my body except face then it becomes little more hard for me be cool...
Like it will be very embarrassing if someone complemented over my butts in a whole crowded place..!! Afterall I don't want everybody's attention on my butts ..!!

Nice to know that you take appreciation positively and do not blush.
I agree with you comments regarding physical appreance can cause lot of embarassament and one feels awkward if somebody says such kind of things.
Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for sharing that you blush!! I cannot believe that you are not 'appreciated'. Please pay attention and note when someone appreciates you directly or indirectly.

It depends on who will going to do the appreciation. Some are criticizing in a way that they appreciate. So it will irritate me coz i feel hypocrite in the area.
When that was my special one, my face will really turn into red and even more red when they noticed and tease me more. If the appreciation was came from people that are really close to me. I will accept it as a compliment and more self confidence. Most of the time, as a compliment because if i say thank you, they will stop and no more teasing at all.

feeling blush when we achieve something special, is normally happened to me but since my skin is brown i don't think that blush would be seen in my face having appreciated situation is kind of special occasion in our life i think, especially appreciated by many people in one place or forum. whoaa, can't describe how happy i would be
surely, in those condition, i will still be my self. no need to act more better to get any attention in my opinion. just be natural and however the appreciation is for us, right?

I feel honoured when I am being appreciated for my efforts. Here, I mean real efforts that win the appreciation. If it is an empty appreciation for which I feel I do not deserve, I do blush. I would rather do away with the unwanted attention.

Sometimes, I really do. Blushing is a sign of humility for me. So, it's a good thing. To be appreciated really lifts our spirit every now and then. As far as I'm concerned, it would be better to appreciate more than to expect more from people.

Yes,I do blush when I was appreciated unexpectedly,especially in a group when everyone paying their attention on me.I would be very emebarrassed .The most embarrassing thing is I don't want anyone notice my embarrassment ,then I get more embarrassing.

When i am being appreciated in public by a teacher or by my boss or someone higher in rank than me I allways blush and my eyes stare at the floor. I guess I have this reaction because it does not happen too often to me :D. I remember one time the dean explained to us something but no one understood what he wanted except me...he made me explain to them. And everytime when one of my collegues made a mistake he used to point at me and say: "You should have done it just like Sandybel did it". That happened about 4 times and after that my glory momments were over.
