why do I turn red?

[bartholomew]

Hi guys
Thanks for all your replies they were ver helpful.

I was wondering if some of you are able not to turn red during an interview/presentation. If so, could you reveal how you managed to ward off the scarlet?

With tranquillisers. Honestly. You don't care about anything at the time.

You turn red when you're self conscious or nervous. Its all nerves.

To "ward off the scarlet", practice your presentation/interview numerous times until you feel more confident and go over it all in your mind, so you are mentally prepared too.
If you do this long enough, not only will you be fully prepared but you'll also be bored out of your mind, and no longer feel nervous about the "big day" ahead.

I'm a bit late but ....I get this all the time bartholomew, it's referred to in my house as 'the fluster rash' and spreads to my chest, arms and knees.

I was bridesmaid at my sister's wedding recently and was SO worried - I got a bottle of Bach's Rescue Remedy and my god it did the trick!! A few squirts on the tongue (fair enough I had more than the 'recommended') and it did me good, can't recommend it enough...
