Normal people take a lot of things for granted - dryness, for example. But life is not so easy for all of us, people with a sweating problem struggle to lead a normal life and they're silently crying out, too ashamed to ask for help. Here are some daily difficulties that sweaty people face that everyone should be concerned about.

THE FAILURE TO GET TOUCHED

Sweaty people are usually shy, and find it hard to open up and get close to people. But once they do, it's the story of a struggle within a struggle to maintain boundaries. When someone's approaching you to give you a hug and you have to tell them "Don't touch me, I'm wet!" it really puts a dent in a budding relationship. A pat on the back becomes stuff of nightmares, because your shirt is wet and clinging on to your back like an ex-girlfriend. The disgusted expression on a person's face when they do pat you on the back despite your warnings is enough to kill your spirit, and all you can do is mumble apologies.

THE SOILING OF CLOTHES

I bet everyone knows that feeling of silent excitement when someone buys a new piece of clothing for some special occasion and walks out wearing it, presenting themselves to the world. For someone with a sweating issue, the silent excitement becomes palpable terror, because the heat will have them sweating like a maniac soon enough and the new, expensive piece of clothing is ruined. You might consider yourself lucky if you have an air conditioned car to travel around in and the place you're going to is cool as well, but sometimes the journey from your car to the gate of a building is all it takes to turn your white shirt into a translucent shirt.

BEING IN A CROWD

Crowds are generally unpleasant; being in close quarters to countless strangers at the same time should violate everyone's sense of personal space. It's the same for a sweaty person, but in their case, they're the ones causing the disgusting environment in a crowd. The person in front of you who's wearing a wet shirt and you're desperately trying not to bump into, who's giving off a tangy odour that makes you want to throw up, that person knows he's the cause of misery for many. But he's as helpless as a person with a different opinion on the internet because whatever he does to make people understand his situation, no matter how much he tries, it will only make things much worse.

BECOMING A SOCIAL PARIAH

It all begins with small things like the ones mentioned above, but the course of life takes a sweaty man in a spiralling journey towards becoming a social pariah, where almost everyone in his life is aware of his condition and chooses to hate him for it. People don't sit beside a sweaty person, they don't let him in their cars because he'll ruin their leather seats and upholstery, and of course, when a sweaty person is sad he doesn't get a hug. Life is difficult for a sweaty person, so if there happens to be one you know, find them, give them a hug, and tell them it's going to be okay, all the while holding your breath because the stink really is bad.
