I learned to take control of my extreme blushing by, strangely enough, looking people in the eye. I used to always avoid eye-contact, and that makes it easy to forget that you’re talking to a real, fallible person. Looking someone in the eye helps remind me that they probably feel a bit awkward too… especially when I’m giving them the stare-down as I will myself not to blush lol. I still blush sometimes, but not nearly so often as I did before. As for my uncontrollable sweating in social situations though, I haven’t found the cure. Edit to add that I also developed posture-related neck problems which required physical therapy in which I learned to stand up straight. Now I have to stand straight or else the neck issues come back. And I feel like it’s really boosted my confidence. Even if I don’t necessarily feel socially acclimated, I’m often standing straighter than anyone in the room (because I have to), and I know that gives off the impression of confidence, which makes me feel it.
