I think I can be the top on of the list! When I feel shy or embarrased for that matter, my face can turn RED in a second and people can tell easily! I noticed that long time ago when I was in primary school and I always get teased at aabout my lobster face when I feel shy... I thought it will go away as I was groing up but it didn't and I am still doing this when I feel shy... I wish I could control my color of the face so no people knopw I am nervous or shy or embarrassed... How about yours? Do you have any funny story about people noticing your face turning red? Let's share!

so brown skin people blush if they r embarassed enough. i have seen them turn pink and maroon colors it is not as profound as a white, but u can see it.

well, i've never been told that my face turns red when i'm shy. so i guess it doesn't turn red. but when i'm shy or embarassed, i feel myself getting really hot. and i really feel as if my face is beetroot red. but then, it turns out not to be. my neck, and all, i can feel myself blushing furiously but i guess, on some people, it can be seen so easily and i might be one of them.

What a good question~~ I know what you feel. Because I just like you. My face can turn red so easily. But I think we cannot control it. Sometimes I tell myself to take a deep breath and maybe can be better. Here's my experience~ I was talking to my friends. I cannot remember exactly what we were talking. That's not the point anyway. I feel my face become very hot suddenly. My friend didnt told me my face turn red. But I think I did. It is so embarrassing. Hope you can find out how to comtrol it and tell me how to^_^

The method is........ go get suntan on the beach, then your face will get browner and people won't notice as easy! hehe

I don't know whether I blush or not whenever I am embarrased. But as people like to say I have expression on my face, I guess I never blush (or probably my skin is dark, people never notice it~~~) I have a fair skin friend and she always turn red whenever she becomes embarrass or shy. I think it's a beautiful reaction.

I am very fair skinned and blush very easily. People tease me about it. If I am uncomfortable or someone teases me and I get embarrassed I turn bright red. Bright red like a cherry. And my face feels really, really hot. At my old workplace, the guys loved to tell racy jokes just to see me get flustered and turn red. I can be shy at times, but I don't think this has anything to do with it. It's just me in an uncomfortable moment. My super fair skin doesn't help, for it shows up right away. I always thought it would go away as I got older, but no such luck. Some things are just a part of us. It just gets me that it's such a rare problem. I've never known anyone else to have it but me and my mom. I guess it's an inherited trait!

Yes, the same as you, even when sun shines of my face its turn to be pinkish, i dont know why. And also when I am embarrased with anyone. I just grew up like that even now I am old I am the same no change at all. I think its on the blood.

I get so red when I'm embarrassed. A friend of mine calls me apple face because I get red so often. I wouldn't help it. I get shy around strangers and when people tease me.

My face turns red when I drink and on July 4th my sister and brother-in-law came over with drinks. My sister says to me, "your face is red, your legs are white, your bathing suit is blue - Happy Fourth of July!"

I do!!! I can't help it. The minute I realize I did or said something that's embarrassing, I just feel my ears getting hot and all my blood rising to my face. Then I feel kinda dizzy, then my heart will start beating faster and harder. I hate feeling like this because it makes me feel like I can't hide my emotions anymore. I used to feel like this every time we had recitals way back in grade school. But when i started to join a band, i've had it less and less. It never went away but somehow I learned to control it.

My face turns immediately red when I am embarrassed, I just wish it wasn't so! :( I get made fun of by my friends and it's even more embarrassing when somebody notices that my face is turning pink/red.
