If You Fear, You Can't Hear: Hyperhidrosis and Social Interactions

Try to find one new thing about someone else each day.

It's easy for people with hyperhidrosis to become hyper-aware of themselves during social interactions. This is part of having social anxiety. After all, if you are too busy thinking about the sweat on your hands, how can you focus on the person you are talking to? And if you're not focused on others, social interactions are not likely to turn out well.

I think that people with hyperhidrosis should try to focus more on other people during conversations. Try to find out one new thing about each conversational partner every day. You might be surprised by what you learn!
