What Happens To Your Skin When You Are Embarrassed?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    When one is embarrassed, the blood will rush to face and cheeks, the oposite is true for fear, your face will drain.  It has a lot to do with involuntary actions in the body, the brain sends a signal, if fear, blood will drain, skin gets clammy and cold and the flight or fight instinct will kick in. When blushing due to embarassement blood flow is increased to head and neck, I used to blush so bad, even my hair line would turn red, so even if I bowed my head, you could still see it in the part. Had a friend who was so painfully shy, was given a medical condition. Sometimes, the brain over reacts, that is  when medical treatment is required
