Facial sweating has created my social anxiety

[Ray007]

I would say I have a slight case of social anxiety, The problem is in certain situations my head just pours with sweet and I'm very embarrased by this. This has lead in turn to my social anxiety. If I meet someone new or talk to a new group, more than likely the first trickles of sweat come streaming down my forhead and sometimes it a deluge. Many people have told me not to worry aboout it it but I can. The more I think about and the more I think people are staring the more i prespire. This makes me even more inhibited. Sometimes I tell people I'm on some swort of drug like cocaine or speed lol

This is perhaps the one thing that has held me back in life. I know I can very far professionally Like I said before many of my friends tell me to ignore it, but I'm very self concious about it. It also always happens if I'm waiting in a long line at the bank or grocery store. As the sweat in ny head increases I get increasingky paranoid about it. I usually tell the cashier I'm on some weight loss drog that speeds up the metabolism

I wish I could defeat this since it has held me back from such promising carers. If I am with a small number of people i'm fine but in stuffy crowded areas or in a long line at say the bank the sweat start to come down. The sad thing is I'm completing my MBA and it for me its rather embarrasing to guve interviews or presentation has sweat riddles my forhead. Its a disgusting problem


I have no clue what rhe cause is. Other people seem to do fine ...at the most they'll bluch which I find far moe preferable. Could it be diet? I am 15 pounds overweight and BG is a little high

wanna swap,i have extreme blushing ?
in social situations or specially at work my face goes from pale white to bright red in less then 3 seconds,it feels like im ready to pass away,and people think you youre having a heart attack at age of 23 to top it up it stays for few hours and you cant swipe it away or cover it and every day is the same story.but speaking on your topic seeing a doctor is easiest and quick solution.

secure wipes (from pharmacy.ca) worked for me; no more sweaty face (except when i run out!)

I had the extreme sweating and now it has moved to extreme blushing and I mean extreme, some people at work as me if I need a ambulance or a doctor I go this red. So I have stopped going to work... arhhhh I just wish it would go away or I could fix it as it's taken over my life and whats the point of anything if you can not do what you want to do in life.. I guess it's like jail ...
