Hey I’m like 5 yrs late but my wild algorithm led me here. I’ve met some people with delusional beliefs but it seemed no matter how evident the truth was, it was impossible to get through to them. The fact that you’ve come to this much realization is honestly beyond impressive. I wish you all the best

ABSOLUTE MIRROR And I also feel like a big part of this is reminding yourself that there's a difference between making a difference, and the FEELING and spotlight of seeming like you are making.. key buzzword? validation! We must learn to validate ourselves and know that the work we does matters whether or not society sees it, deems it valuable, whorships it or demonizes it.. Telling ourselves every day that the work we does matters whether or not others agree is our battle. Alienation (ie not seeing how the fruits of your labor help others) can also be a large barrier and is why corporate jobs can be so soul crushing

Johnny I have followed you for years, ever since the incident of the man finding you on the bridge. My son suffers from a similar illness as you do. I just wanted to ask if you have considered listening to Dr Chris Palmer on the ketogenic diet as a cure to many diverse mental illnesses? I can’t get my son to follow this diet yet but I am definitely going to persevere! It seems to be something that is working for many, many people. We love you Johnny! Don’t take any notice of the trolls! They are everywhere and it is nothing to do with you. You are amazing! Please look at the information on the ketogenic diet and Dr Christopher Palmer! You won’t regret it! Hold on in there Johnny! Best wishes to you from all of my family xxx

This was just recommended on my feed. Thank you so much for this as it is one reason it took me until my 30s to come out and I still have not slept with a guy and dreaded coming out due to fear of being mistreated, which quite possibly has affected my libido, especially when meeting guys in person. I feel like I might be considered "demisexual" as needing more of an emotional connection to have sex, but I'm potentially meeting a guy tomorrow who is 21 years older than me (I'm 38 now) after trying on other apps like Grindr, Tinder, Hinge, Bumble. So we'll see how that goes, but it's nice to hear someone such as yourself speak so candidly about how they feel regarding sex and it feels completely relatable. Thank you again! 💗

When you recorded this video and people in the comments were in the same situation as you, i was 9 years old and living my happy life, could not imagine i would feel better after reading these comments. I am glad that i am not alone. My anxiety came probably when i was 10 after changing a school (horrible classmates), but i should have been happy, at least i was not blushing. Now i am a university student and blush everyday, yes, even with my parents. "university life is so cool" not for me, cause i have to run and run from people

Came across this video by accident. However this resonates with me as I am a facial blusher. It doesn't help that when I exercise or am in hot weather my face is super hot. But somehow, as of late, I have stopped blushing as much and I am not sure why. I still get the neck flush from time to time but I tell myself its ok! There are others out there just like us. :)

Please examine your relationship with SHAME, possibly with a gay therapist or counselor. I have the feeling you were taught a crock about gays and gay sex and have bought into it. Many of your facial expressions and body language suggest embarrassment and shame related to sex. It is perhaps healthy to express your feelings on YT as a way to cope but I think your issue goes deeper. Hook-up sex is not a performance, it is an exchange of human contact and pleasure and is an activity to be experienced with responsibility on the part of both participants. Consider meeting men in real life through activities or hobbies (hiking? animal care? gay sports? book clubs?) and stop looking for love in the halls of illusion that are marketed as "dating sites" but are really just hook-up sites. Everyone becomes a sex object on those sites and they know it. Most gay men want to be sexual conquerors because they were taught to be so as boys; then the reality sets in and they find out there's little or no emotional nutrition in such Pavlovian behavior. Best of luck dear man; seek and you will find your answers.

I am also struggling with blushing and low Self esteem i had this for 5 years and it Makes Life a living hell people dont understand how frustrating it is to always blush or blush harder i think i have chronic blushing now since i dont remember a day that i didn’t. Not blush it gave me anxiety from people and socializing so much i also have no Friends and Never had a girlfriend i hate when people laugh at me or are staring at me just off the fact that i am blushing i wish i one day can be the Social Person i was years back at the end off the day i am aware people dont really care and mind their OWN business it is a Battle inside the Head of negativity and low Self esteem which i carry i just want to be a HUMAN and Not be ashamed just because of my existence… ❤

Mate. first of all youre half way there having the courage to make this video. Instead of getting caught up in the rabbit hole of thoughts and going through that whirl wind, you just have to put it out there...the more you fight it the stronger it will be. The only way to beat it is stop fighting it. Tell people what it is, Erythrophobia, you're struggling with it. You hate it. It ruins lives and ends lives. People will take it as they will depending on the kind of oerson they are. But.....i can tell you.....almost 100%, give it time, you will realize one day that you havent thought of blushing in ages!!!!!!! Whats the cause of it? I dont know but suspect youre a very sensitive lovely human and there is a great value there. I see the pain in you and wish you the best. Yes i have gone through this. Yes it has ....changed my life. But im still here. It will happen every once in a while but i barely ever even think about it now. Thinking back to horrible it was....yeah.....its torture.

I am brown but my face can still go so red, once, I was playing basketball when I lost a round and started turning red because I was embarrassed in front of my friends. Then the opponent came up to me and was like "Yo, your face is as red as a...tomato! Your blushing so much, look at your fucking red ass ears, steam is gonna blow out!" and another guy said, "Ya, are you like outraged cuz you lost or are you sunburned?" Then my friends approached me almost scared and said, "WOAH, your face is like...red red....I mean red!!" All this started making me a little angry because I already have slight anger issues and it was a hot day, I was just not in the mood, so I got so angry and bursted, driving me even redder than I was! I was shirtless and somehow my chest started turning red and so did my stomach, making me look sunburned. One guy approached me and said "The sunburn seems to be making you quite mad, but you're brown-skinned...I didn't know you guys could turn redder than me! I was just pure annoyed that people were focusing on my red face, like can't they leave me alone, they know my anger issues and have seen me blush before! I was red for a while before it started fading off. But the thought of that moment made my face go red again, at the most random times. Now every time I exercise, I go very red making people stare and question me. No one in my family has this blushing red face thing that I have, everyone thinks its cute saying I have rosy cheeks, but it is not as simple as rosy cheeks, my whole body will go dark red and burn. Some people point out that my red face just makes me angry, and for some reason, I get super red when I get angry! And I have quite large ears, and my ears go red too! Like what the actual hell!? Once I was at a waterpark, and everyone wanted me to go shirtless so I could show my "muscles'', and I was like "Uhmm no, you have seen how red my chest goes, if my face goes red, I'm going to look sunburned again! And we were in an indoor waterpark so that made it more awkward. One kid said, "You sure tomatoes can go down such a slide?!" My anger was so bad I felt like fighting but I controlled it, just making me more red. Honestly having a red face is just torture. If there was a blushing society I would immediately become president.

Thanks for your comment. People don’t realise that their words/actions can truly impact another person. I wish they would be kinder and more considerate. You’re not on your own with both blushing AND the way people respond. I would recommend the book Red Face. It should be on Amazon. It really helped me and I think it might help you too
