Brief Answer:
I think systemic desensitisation is better option for you

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

From the available description you developed secondary social anxiety disorder otherwise known as social phobia due to blushing. Although medications have definite role but considering your choice and poor repose in past I feel behavioural therapy is best option for you.

Among behavioural techniques I think systemic desensitisation likely to produce best results for you. In my view you need to see a psychologist in person for behavioral therapy.

I hope this helps you.
In case you have more query I can assist you further.
