"Hey, Bill, why do we blush when we are embarrassed?"
Dear Bashful,
If you're like me--and I've got a feeling in this particular case you are just like me--you blush when you're caught thinking about something private or unresolved, something awkward, or maybe something you're a bit ashamed of. You blush when you're embarrassed. Your face flushes with blood. You can feel it, and those around you can see it.
The science of blushingWhen you're caught ashamed or in an awkward position, your body releases a bit of adrenaline. Your heart rate goes up. You breathe faster. And often, blood vessels that deliver blood to your face dilate--they open up or relax a little. More blood than usual flows to the skin of your face, and your face darkens or turns noticeably red.
Some people even have a condition referred to as erythrophobia, fear of reddening. So, there is a connection between your brain and the blood vessels that feed your face. These blood pathways are regulated by your sympathetic nervous system. In this usage, sympathetic refers to nerve signals that your brain generates unconsciously. It's your thoughts that cause these signals to be produced, but you don't consciously think about producing them. Your brain somehow sends signals to your face, based on what someone has said or what you've seen. You blush. The sympathetic nerves involved here are near the center of your spinal cord; it's the same area that controls the organs in your thorax, your chest.
Blushing about blushingSome people blush very, very easily. And it bugs them. They feel vulnerable. Those who encounter these people may sense that the blushing people are nervous, and that makes a blusher blush even more. Yikes!
People concerned about their blushing sometimes seek psychiatric or psychological help. They may also respond to advertisements for hypnotists that say they can help people stop blushing. In extreme cases, blushers may opt for surgery that apparently reduces one's tendency to blush. Surgeons isolate very thin nerves near the center of the patient's spine and then pinch or even cut the nerves. Most people who undergo this procedure apparently don't blush nearly as much as they did before the surgery. But this sort of radical step may not be all good. Advertisements for the reversal of this type of surgery may indicate that at least some patients aren't happy with the results. People perhaps aren't comfortable when they can't express certain emotions without saying anything.
The power of blushingSince you're human, you have blushed from time to time. And it's quite reasonable that there are nerves that control blushing. It's also not surprising to realize that blushing is involuntary. We've all felt it. That we can't control it very easily is just part of being a human. But one cannot help but wonder if blushing doesn't have some higher, bigger purpose. If it's powerful enough to make people want to go under a surgeon's knife, it's probably an inherently powerful phenomenon.
