okay, i know some people blush when they get nervous or embarrassed or whatever, but why do their cheeks turn red because of it? is it really just from all the smiling or is it something else (too)? just feeling a little curious IP: Logged |

Dr Claire Weeks (author of "Peace From Nervous Suffering") says, "a blush is caused by the nerves controlling the blood vessels in our face and neck becoming so startled by emotion - fear, anger, shame - that they suddenly release their grip and blood floods into the vessels." Trying NOT to blush makes it that much worse! IP: Logged |
