Not just blushing for people prone to blushing but for many other issues in our lives. Many suffer from atypical depression. Some of the symptoms are sensitivity to other people's actions or non actions towards us. I believe the term is rejection sensitivity.
In the end no one controls our emotions but outselves. Some of us may be genetically predisposed to this condition. I believe nardil may be useful for this condition.However from a cbt point of view you have to declare your independence. You make the decision that you don't care what others think of you. One must also draw boundaries as to what is acceptable to you. Others may have the right to not like you and we must learn to deal with that but no one has the right to emotionally abuse you and hurt you. These are you boundaries and you must defend them.
