      I know that the redness comes from the increased flow of blood through the blood vessels in your face, but I’m not really sure WHY that happens when we’re embarrassed or nervous…

      It could be a biological signal to other people to let them know that we’re uncomfortable?

      That’s a great question, you’ve got me reading up on this subject now! 🙂
