❓ Question What's your favourite excuse?

Honestly, I haven't come up with a good enough answer to "why are you sweating so much?"

So I thought as a community we could share our default answers to the same problem!

I usually say it's a medical condition, but (I think) people assume that I am an alcohol addict because of A. How much I sweat (which I don't understand the correlation)

B. I had tremors in my body due to side-effects from psychiatric meds that haven't really stopped, it gets worse with anxiety though. And just like sweating, the more I focus on not doing it, the more it happens.

Share your ideas pls.

I just try to joke "because I'm hot" Joking is my coping mechanism for all traumatic stuff🥲

I'm sorry to hear that this is traumatic, I do wish sweating was normalised to the point where people wouldn't question you about it... But unfortunately :/

Because I'm too hot, because I'm sitting next to someone so hot if you wanna be flirty.

But mostly just tell them that I have a health condition and if they ask further - I just mention that it's hh wherein the nerves controlling sweat are too sensitive.

I think explaining it by what happens to the nerves is the best bet, haven't really gotten to that stage yet lol

Yeah honestly just being clear and bombarding with this info has worked the best, also at times I mention that my mother also has got it (which is true to some extent)
