Sure. Well, I love your response about self-acceptance and changing her thoughts. I mean, right now she's thinking this is awful, but she could also be thinking this is endearing. And if she thought this is endearing, then she would be happy when she blushed because it would allow her to be closer to other people. Yeah.
