on shyness and being flirted with
So yeah. I have a hot, sexy boyfriend-thing who likes to flirt/tease me.
I am also so shy, and it's so easy for me to blush myself to death that I've developed a mental system to compartmentalize just about everything. The system works better for some things than it does for others.
Somehow, when the boyfriend gets especially flirty (which usually means showing off his body), the system completely fails. My face turns bright red, I make noises similar to a 12-year-old fangirl, and I absolutely cannot disconnect. I don't know what it is, but I end up not looking at him even when I want to.
... I am weird. Is there any cure for this particular bit of weirdness?
