I have a similar problem. I don't like getting attention and I have been coping with it better lately but if I get attention and can't brace myself for it my face turns bright bright red. And in the past, just thinking about getting attention would make my face go very red.
My best way to cope has been to pretend that I'm not anxious at all and if my face does start to go red pretend like nothing is even happening. It works, usually. I still have problems. I am really insecure too so that doesn't help... but I try and pretend I am confident and fool myself.
