Blushing.

[JaysHere]

Not so sure about the "body blushing" thing, but I do blush ... at the "appropriate time." Apparently, many people believe that I'm more naive or prudish than is true because I have a tendency to blush when such people "usually" would.

Wanna see? Just tell a dirty joke or mention sex in public with me...

 

[JaysHere]

Unless you are a fan of aged chubbies ...

...and most here on JUB aren't....

I MUST consider the majority's sensibilities...and recently ingested meals.

Same here!

I was accused of blushing at a church meeting tonight. I was asked about a parishoner in the hospital, asked a bunch of intrusive questions actually, and I demurred in answering and someone said "Jack's just more discreet than we are." And I blushed, I am told. No idea if I did, and if I did, no idea why.

Mr Pianist, you have been asked to take a simple photo so your friends could determine your blush capabilities. It is rude not to comply with a request from friends. It could be the turning point of your life and a central event at JUB! Be free! Be naked! Let it all hang out! (Are you blushing yet? Grab the camera...)

iam a blusher definatly

Honestly, I can't STAND to see myself naked. It's an affront to MY sensibilities.

My friend - can you play Chopin's Nocturne c# minor? If so, I'll love you forever.


There are times that I would not want a picture taken of me naked, let alone anyone to see it, depending on a varierty of things, but other times I look pretty damn good (with right lighting, careful angles...) You know I work out a lot and that has something to do with my feelings on that. Some days it looks like its working more than others.

And there have been times when with weight and such I don't even want to see myself naked and cover up when I pass my bathroom's wall mirror. But to be at a point where you can't stand it - hey, I hope you find a comfort level where you are. We are all products of our genetics and this and that and the other and we are "of an age" when past lives catch up with us - but it is still you. And like the other thread where the young man was horribly hurt because he was treated cruelly by a guy in reaction to a birth-ear thing - hey, don't treat yourself cruelly, anymore than our young friend should think less of himself because of the obtuseness of another. If you really don't like the way you look that it bothers you that much, do some yoga, pilates, that will help a lot in a very gentle way, but more importantly, you have to be able to embrace you before anyone else is going to feel comfortable doing so. I just detect a sense in several of your posts where you put yourself down, and I don't want you to do it. Hell, i deal with that every day when I look at my face in the mirror. And there ain't nuthin I can do about that.

You play a very skillful piano, your skills are in demand, you have a lot going for you, and you have lived in your body and it is yours and it is to be loved - first, by you. Love yourself. Be comfortable with yourself.

And that Chopin - you know the piece I am sure. I want to hear it!

^ Alas, I am self taught, and was FAR more interested in writing my own material, which I do, than learning pieces by other people

rent the dvd The Pianist. You will know which piece I mean without checking the credits. That nocturne - this makes no sense perhaps - is my life, it says it all for me.

Self taught and creative and doing your own material is way cool. It is a gift, and I am suitably impressed.

I'm not a physical blusher...that is, I don't flush noticeably.

But yes, when this guy wanted to kiss me and there was all this tension, I got completely embarrassed and it would have been crazy blushing if I had only turned red as well.

 

[JackFTwist]

Oh, in case you're interested...

My site

The site has a bio, some demos of some of my music, and comments etc. It's very bare bones but suffices.

Good stuff there, sir!

I bookmarked it so I can listen again!

I don't blush, but if I do I try to hide it. I look dorky when I blush.

I couldn't have put it better. I close my eyes so I dont have to look at myself when I take a shower.

And to keep on track for the thread, I am a blusher.

I blush at certain things...

And apparently, I'm much more empathic then I thought I was.

I was having dinner with two gay guys and a female friend of theirs from the LGTB Centre.

One of the guys, Ryan, made a comment about this guy he knows, which led to a rather insinuating comment from the other, Cameron.

Now, apparently from my understanding Ryan is quite the blusher. However, apparently I was redder from the comment then he was.

Which is strange, considering my somewhat superhuman lack of human emotion in most cases...


That, or maybe it's just since I'm kind of attracted to Ryan I couldn't help but blush over the joke at his expense...

Who knows?

I don't blush now--- but blushing was the bane of my adolescent and early teen years! Uncontrollable blushing is tough!

 

[Andross]

Oh yea, I blush a lot too. Especially when I'm nervous - I am probably blushing a lot at job interviews... It's uncomfortable.

 

[RRRalph]

ahh how sweet. i like blushing guys! as a teenager i used to blush very easily, but that's completely gone now. Nowadays i seldom blush.

 

[Marbas]

I very rarely blush, probably because I have absolutely no sense of shame.

Although I did feel a little flushed yesterday when a guy at the computer shop referred to me as 'young man', he could've only been a year or so older than me at the most.

Of course, he could've just been indulging in sarcasm; maybe he used the term 'young man' when what he really meant meant was 'you sad old fuck'. But I guess I'll never know for sure.
