Why blush?

Question 1: Why do you often blush? In fact, ordinary people's shyness is not just blushing. They may blush when they are angry or happy. The fundamental reason is that mental excitement causes the excitement of sympathetic nervous system, which in turn promotes the increase of adrenaline secretion. The increase of adrenaline makes the heart beat faster, blood vessels dilate, congestion and blood circulation increase. The facial blood vessels are rich and shallow, which is easier to see. Facial nerves are also rich, and you can feel fever. In fact, when people are excited, their whole body will change. In addition, people's emotional expression is mainly concentrated in the face, and people's attention is often expressed through the face in social communication. Therefore, the oxygen consumption of the face will also increase, and blood flow will naturally be faster. Similar to after we eat, a lot of blood will be concentrated in the gastrointestinal department to help digest and transport nutrients.

Question 2: What's wrong with always blushing? I often blush when I'm embarrassed, sometimes I blush when I'm not embarrassed, and I blush when I use some force ... Please see below:

People with poor psychological quality who care about other people's opinions will feel nervous or excited when interacting with people they are not familiar with or more important, which will cause sympathetic nerve excitement and increase the secretion of catecholamine such as norepinephrine, thus making people's heart beat faster and blood vessels dilate, which is manifested as blushing.

Usually, people blush when they feel embarrassed. Blushing is a natural reaction accompanied by sudden shyness. If it is not significant, it can be almost ignored. But blushing is unique, so scientists want to know more about this phenomenon. Although the cause of blushing is still a mystery from the psychological point of view, we already know the physical process that people go through when they blush. The following will explain this process for you.

When people feel embarrassed, blushing is like a "fight or flight response", which is activated by the sympathetic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is not controlled by consciousness, which means that you haven't thought about it before doing these behaviors. On the other hand, moving the arm is a behavior controlled by consciousness; You have thought about what to do before you move, although the time for thinking may be extremely short.

When you feel embarrassed, your body releases adrenaline. This hormone is a natural stimulant, which will have a series of effects on the body, all of which are part of the fight-and-flight response. Adrenaline will speed up your breathing and heartbeat and prepare you to escape from danger. Your pupils will be dilated, so that you can see as much as possible. Adrenaline also slows down your digestive process and reintroduces energy into your muscles. Your trembling when you feel embarrassed is the result of all these reactions.

Adrenaline can also dilate your blood vessels (called vasodilation) and speed up blood flow and oxygen delivery. This is why the face turns red. The blood vessels in the face will respond to the signal of the chemical transmitter adenylate cyclase, making adrenaline popular. Finally, the veins in your face will expand, causing more blood to flow through the blood vessels. At this time, your face will turn red and others will know that you are embarrassed. In other words, adrenaline causes more local blood to flow through the cheeks.

This sounds reasonable, but interestingly, this is an abnormal reaction of veins. Other types of blood vessels respond to adrenaline, but usually veins don't. In other parts of the human body, when adrenaline is released, the vein does not respond, and hormones have little or no effect on it.

Drinking or being excited will make us blush, but blushing in embarrassment is different from these situations, because only this kind of blushing is caused by adrenaline.

Some people will have surgery to control their blushing reaction. Erythrophobia is a kind of psychological fear caused by shyness, and patients usually blush when they see people. Some people will undergo surgery to remove the tiny nerves in the spine that control blushing. This operation, called thoracic sympathectomy, has been proved to be effective in controlling blushing.

Many friends will blush, which will make them very upset and affect their social life. These friends are not inferior, and there is no so-called social phobia. For such friends, Wen Qu Psychological Network has compiled several points to help them overcome!

1. System desensitization

List all kinds of scenes that can make you blush, from light to heavy, and copy them to different cards. Put the scenes that won't make you blush in the front, the ones that make you blush in the back, and put the cards in order.

Relaxation training

The method is to sit in a comfortable seat and take deep breaths regularly to relax the whole body. After relaxing, take out the first card in the above series and imagine the scene above. The more vivid you imagine, the better the image.

3. Imagination training

If you feel a little uneasy and blushing, stop imagining, take a deep breath and relax yourself again. After completely relaxing, re-imagine the scene of failure just now. If anxiety and blushing appear again, stop and relax, and so on, until the scene on the card won't make you feel uneasy and blushing again.

In the same way, move on to the next scene that makes you more uneasy and blushing (the next card). Note that every time you enter the imagination of the next card, you should take it as the standard that you no longer feel uneasy and blush when you imagine the last card, otherwise you can't enter ... >>

Question 3: Why do I blush easily? In fact, blushing is the command of the mind. It turns out that our visual and auditory nerves are concentrated in our minds. When we see and hear things that make us shy, our eyes and ears will immediately transmit the news to the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex will contact the adrenal gland in addition to the relevant parts, and the adrenal gland will immediately respond accordingly and secrete adrenaline. Adrenaline has a characteristic. When it is secreted in a small amount, it can make the blood expand without reflux, especially the subcutaneous small blood vessels of the face. But when it is secreted in large quantities, it will cause vasoconstriction.

? When we feel embarrassed, it is the time when the cerebral cortex holds the adrenal gland and secretes a small amount of adrenaline, so our faces are hot and red. Not only will you blush when you are shy, but you will also blush when you are happy and angry. When you are extremely angry, your face is not only red, but also red and You Lan, and sometimes it turns pale. This is because the adrenal gland is secreted in large quantities, which makes blood vessels contract, alternately hyperemia and anemia, or makes blood vessels in a state of anemia for a long time.

In fact, it is very simple to overcome blushing. Just when you see something that excites you, try to make your mood as calm as water, then make more new friends, participate in more social activities and communicate with strangers. Try to do it!

Psychological adjustment of blushing.

It is unbearable to blush in front of people when you step into society. In fact, I know there is nothing to be afraid of, and I want to change myself and communicate freely with others, but I just can't. Sometimes when I talk to people I don't know very well, I feel "Gordon" in my heart, my heart beats faster and my blood rushes straight to my face. I don't want to say my embarrassment, but I also call others inexplicable, and I am often laughed at by others, which makes me scared when I associate with people, and I dare not associate with people. However, they are eager to communicate with others. In their body, they often experience two different self-wars: one is shyness, cowardice and lack of self-confidence, and the other is forcing themselves to change themselves. So I feel that life is really too heavy and tired. This is a mental illness called acrophobia.

Everyone will feel nervous or excited when interacting with unfamiliar or more important people, which will cause sympathetic nerve excitement and increase the secretion of catecholamine such as norepinephrine, thus making people's heart beat faster and capillaries dilate, that is, blush. This is a normal reaction in interpersonal communication, and it will become accustomed to it over time. However, due to your lack of self-confidence, you pay special attention to the evaluation of others and your performance in front of others, so that you are particularly concerned about blushing. I'm afraid people will say you because of this, and I don't want to blush, but I can't get rid of it. Seeing people blush becomes your heart disease. Before you associate with people, you are worried that you will blush. When dealing with people, you will seriously experience whether you have blushed. Over time, the corresponding areas of the brain will form a sense of excitement. As soon as you enter the environment of communication with people, you will feel hot on your face and anxious inside. Coupled with other people's comments or ridicule, you will be more nervous and afraid to meet people, thus forming acrophobia.

Erythrophobia can be treated. First of all, you should take a natural attitude towards blushing, allow it to appear and exist, don't resist, don't suppress, don't hide, don't worry and worry about blushing, so as to eliminate the tension and worry caused by blushing and interrupt the vicious circle caused by it.

Secondly, we should exercise our self-confidence. Most people who blush easily in front of others lack self-confidence and have an inferiority complex. Therefore, strengthening the cultivation of self-confidence and overcoming inferiority complex can play a fundamental role.

We should change the way of thinking that we only see our own shortcomings and compare our own shortcomings with the advantages of others. Conversely, we should always think about our strengths or advantages, compare our strengths with others' weaknesses, and gradually change our views on ourselves. While changing your view of yourself, turn your attention to the activities that you are interested in and can best reflect your talents. Find something easy and sure to finish first, and you will have a little happiness after success. When you are finished, you will determine your next goal in the same way. In this way, every time you succeed, you will strengthen your self-confidence, and gradually your self-confidence will become stronger and stronger.

Fingers are long and short, and people can't be perfect. People's value is mainly reflected in exerting their potential as much as possible through their own efforts. Take shortcomings, failures and ridicule of others as common things, take it as the driving force to improve yourself, have your own views on other people's evaluation and discussion, and do "correct what you have, and encourage what you don't have", not being influenced by people's words and being at a loss.

People will feel inferior because they compare with each other. > & gt

Question 4: Why do women blush? In fact, most people blush not only when they are shy, but also when they are angry or happy. The fundamental reason is that mental excitement causes the excitement of sympathetic nervous system, which in turn promotes the increase of adrenaline secretion. The increase of adrenaline makes the heart beat faster, blood vessels dilate, congestion and blood circulation increase. The facial blood vessels are rich and shallow, which is easier to see; Facial nerves are also rich, so you can also feel fever. In fact, when people are excited, their whole body will change. In addition, people's emotional expression is mainly concentrated in the face, and people's attention is often expressed through the face in social interaction. Therefore, the oxygen consumption of the face will also increase, and blood flow will naturally be faster. Similarly, after eating, a lot of blood will concentrate in the gastrointestinal tract to help digest and transport nutrients. Of course, not everyone will do this. A person who lacks emotion in his heart is not easy to get excited; A person whose moral quality deviates from the public standard will not get excited after not knowing the habit of shyness, so he will not blush. . .

Please accept it, thank you!

Blushing is a very strong physiological reaction, but why do we have this reaction when we are embarrassed? Scientists haven't found the exact answer yet, but they have given some interesting theories about the causes of blushing.

Question 6: What causes blushing? Blushing is often caused by the temporary relaxation of facial blood vessels, which can be caused by emotional excitement, autonomic nerve dysfunction, endocrine influence or direct action of vasoactive substances on facial dermal blood vessels. Common blushing situations are as follows: ■ Healthy blushing Some healthy people have good peripheral blood circulation, rosy face and a little activity, which is normal. ■ Emotional blushing Some people blush when they are shy, angry, ashamed, nervous, praised or criticized. This is a physiological phenomenon, not a symptom of disease. ■ Some people may blush because of drinking. After drinking, in addition to facial flushing, the skin of neck, chest, back and upper limbs can also be red, sometimes accompanied by urticaria and itching. ■ Blushing in "Menopause", there are a few women who have bilateral ovarian function decline or loss before and after menopause or due to ovarian surgery, radiotherapy, serious diseases and other reasons. In a period of time, they may have paroxysmal blushing, which starts with the warmth of face, neck and chest, and then turns to flushing. Each attack time is short, lasting for 5- 15 minutes, and it is easy to get emotional or attack after meals, sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as sweating, chills, irritability, depression and anxiety. These symptoms with mental and autonomic nervous functions are called menopausal syndrome, which can be effectively treated with estrogen or androgen. ■ Blushing, pigmentary urticaria caused by histamine or the application of drugs that release histamine can cause redness of face, neck, chest and limbs, which can last for 15 minutes to 2 hours, often accompanied by headache and skin itching, and the histamine content in blood and urine increases. Treatment with antihistamines can achieve certain results. ■ Carcinoid blushing can often cause flushing on the face, neck, arms, trunk and legs, emotional changes, overeating, drinking diarrhea and so on. Because carcinoid tissue can produce 5- hydroxytryptamine and kinin, long-term attack can dilate small blood vessels, thicken local tissues, sometimes appear persistent erythema or cyanosis, and even the central necrosis of erythema forms scars. In addition, it can be accompanied by symptoms of gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, heart and nervous system, which is called carcinoid syndrome together with skin symptoms. The disease can be cured by early surgical treatment. ■ Blushing caused by other diseases Many systemic diseases can cause blushing. For example, patients with hypertension have a red face; Patients with mitral stenosis have purple cheeks and slightly cyanotic lips; Tuberculosis patients with hot flashes in the afternoon are accompanied by symptoms and signs of their respective diseases. Blushing is both physiological and pathological. Don't worry about physical blushing. As for pathological blushing, please consult a doctor. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Daily conditioning, care and maintenance of sensitive skin: 1. Diet adjustment: eat more fruits, vegetables and other foods. 2. Life conditioning: life should be regular, keep enough sleep, and don't drink or smoke. 3. Keep your skin clean and wash your face often with cold water to increase your resistance. 4. Try to avoid staying in hot air and avoid too much dust and sweat. Nursing: 1. Don't use hot skin care series, don't hit your face in a large area, and don't use scrub. 2. When choosing cosmetics, choose cosmetics without strong fragrance and alcohol. 3. Try not to wear makeup or heavy makeup. 4. If the skin is allergic, stop using any cosmetics immediately and take care of the skin in time. Maintenance: 1. Don't exfoliate. Thin keratin and damaged keratin are the main causes of sensitivity and red blood, so the first principle of maintenance is to maintain keratin from being hurt. 2. Strengthen the protection of sensitive skin. Thin epidermis, lack of ability to defend against ultraviolet rays, easy to aging. Therefore, attention should be paid to the use of sunscreen products, and the ingredients of sunscreen products are also one of the factors that easily cause * * * sensitivity. So it is best not to apply it directly to the skin. After applying basic skin care products, it is better to apply a layer of sunscreen products. 3. Fully moisturizing the shallow stratum corneum of sensitive skin often can't keep enough moisture. Whether in a cold room in summer or in a dry climate in winter, people with this kind of skin will feel the lack of water and dryness of the skin more keenly than the average person, so it is very important to strengthen moisturizing in daily maintenance. It is recommended to use the American Bebe OPC moisturizing mask with high-efficiency moisturizing ingredients regularly to relieve the phenomenon of dry skin. 4. Semi-nourishing modern beauty and skin care products emphasize high efficiency, so its active ingredients are required to penetrate the skin and act on the deep layer of the skin. & gt

Question 7: Why do I often blush? Blushing is both physiological and pathological. Some healthy people have good peripheral blood circulation, a little activity and rosy complexion; Some people blush when they are shy, angry or ashamed. Some people will blush because of drinking; People living in high mountains need more red blood cells to absorb enough oxygen because the air is thinner, and once the hemoglobin carried by red blood cells increases, the color of their faces will be redder; Some people blush because of menopause, while others blush because of systemic diseases. Such as hypertension, tuberculosis and lupus erythematosus. Don't worry about physical blushing. As for pathological blushing, please consult a doctor.

From a medical point of view, blushing means that it is easier to turn red, darker and lasts longer than others due to changes in temperature or mood. There are blood vessels in the skin, which will expand or contract under the influence of nerve factors, especially the capillaries in the cheeks are rich, so the cheeks are more prone to redness. If blushing only occurs in winter, it has more to do with the change of temperature.

Generally speaking, heat will dilate skin blood vessels, leading to facial flushing. Although cold makes blood vessels contract, when the temperature rises, blood vessels will rebound and expand, causing blushing. But some people, at extremely cold temperatures, will also blush because of abnormal blood vessel expansion. The clinical manifestations are filiform, punctate, star-shaped or flaky facial features.

When the temperature difference is too large, for example, from the cold wind blowing to the air-conditioned room, it is hot and cold, and the capillaries lose their elasticity in repeated contraction and expansion, which is reflected on the cheeks and nose, which will make the cheeks red and sting. At the beginning, the face can be restored to its original state immediately when it turns red, but if it continues repeatedly for a long time, the blood vessels contract, lose their expansion function, and harden in the state of overstretching, making the face look very red at ordinary times. In severe cases, facial flushing's symptoms will also appear after lowering the head and raising the head. This symptom is relatively calm in spring, summer and autumn, and more serious in winter.

The doctor suggested that in winter, we should avoid the cold environment and the sharp change of temperature, and pay attention to the moisturizing and warm work of the skin. In a particularly dry and hot room, if your face feels dry, you should replenish water in time and wash it with warm water. Scarves or masks can be used outside to prevent cold air from directly attacking the face, avoid excessive humidity difference and temperature difference, and make the dilated capillaries contract rapidly when they are cold, forming red blood. People with a history of facial frostbite should always wipe their faces in winter to promote blood circulation.

In terms of diet, doctors say that people who blush easily should eat less foods that will increase blood vessel dilation, such as coffee, tea, cola and other caffeinated foods. Supplementing some vitamin B can also help nerve repair and soothe the nerves. In addition, avoid the sun, wine, spicy and * * * food, and be less angry, nervous or overly excited, because these will contribute to the redness of the face.

Question 8: What does blushing mean? Usually, people blush when they feel embarrassed. Blushing is a natural reaction accompanied by sudden shyness. If it is not significant, it can be almost ignored. But blushing is unique, so scientists want to know more about this phenomenon.

The sympathetic nervous system is not controlled by consciousness, which means that you haven't thought about it before doing these behaviors. On the other hand, moving the arm is a behavior controlled by consciousness; You have thought about what to do before you move, although the time for thinking may be extremely short. This is a good thing, because if you move your arm unconsciously, you may buy a lot of things they don't want in the auction.

Question 9: How is it that people blush all day? In order to maintain body temperature, the human body will increase blood flow at low temperature. Blushing in winter is the result of increased blood flow of facial capillaries.

From the skin point of view, allergic skin will naturally turn red. Generally, you will be nervous, happy, shy and exercise a lot, especially when it is hot and cold, you should pay more attention to skin care and diet. For example, eat more fruits, but it is not easy to eat high-calorie fruits. Eat more foods with high vitamin E content. Tomatoes are also one of the best foods. Eat less spicy food. Pay special attention to the use of cosmetics.

There is also a saying that blushing is the command of the mind. It turns out that our visual and auditory nerves are concentrated in our minds. When we see and hear things that make us shy, our eyes and ears will immediately transmit the news to the cerebral cortex.

Question 10: What's the matter with blushing and burning? In medicine, this situation is called "facial flushing". Every winter, there are many patients. Blushing is both physiological and pathological. Some healthy people have good peripheral blood circulation, a little activity and rosy complexion; Some people blush when they are shy, angry or ashamed. Some people will blush because of drinking; People living in high mountains need more red blood cells to absorb enough oxygen because the air is thinner, and once the hemoglobin carried by red blood cells increases, the color of their faces will be redder; Some people blush because of menopause, while others blush because of systemic diseases.
