Whenever I'm embarrassed I sweat it seems. =/ And then I get even more embarrassed for being sweaty, which makes it worse.... is there any way i can avoid this? v.v
During muggy days when I play tennis, I use an extra dry deodorant. That alone solves my problem. If possible, the next time you need some deodorant, go for the kind that says extra dry or something like that.
You can't stop it... =P It is a unconscious reaction to the insecurity you fear... The best way... would be to understand and be aware that you aren't the only one..and it is a natural reaction to embarrassment. In what situations does this happen the most? When talking to someone you like? Or giving a speech? etc. Btw...This thread reminded me of something....lol There this hunk whom I talk to... On Friday, he wanted us to make a bet... and shake hands to close it... and I was like, oh fck, and I noticed my hands started to sweat... and I was like. Uhm, no hand shaking, you may pass me a virus or something...lol I was able to pull of my embarrassment... off... Without trying to stop my sweaty palms...lol
I actually put antipersprent deodorant on my head when I know I am going to do an oral presentation. It helps at first. Just slows down the process, really.
I guess theres not much to do other than use antiperspirant on the area. You could also try face powder?
They make invisible antipersprent. Also, I don't see why it would be a bad thing to have your face smell like it if it smells good. Also, I don't see why people would be smelling your face to being with.
I think spraying your face with anti-perspirant it a short term solution for a long term problem... I have been in situations where I have gotten embarrassed and while I wouldn't perspire as such, I could feel myself heating up and get all tingly in the back area. More recently whenever I have felt a situation like this coming along I have tried my best to stay confident throughout and just not get embarrassed. Granted, you can't just turn off embarrassment like that and there are still times when I do heat up. However I do feel that confidence was the main issue with me and when you feel confident you tend not to be as embarrassed... Not really sure if any of that was helpful.
..not really. That's like saying fear or anger is a choice. Which can be easily disproved by the fact that animals, please note that only humans are capable of complex choices such as what you're proposing, don't make choices.

go to a costume shop and purchase a product called "no sweat" its made for clowns so they don't sweat their makeup away, just be sure that you drink enough water, but trust me, this stuff is NO JOKE, however if you are acne prone, you will have to careful not to clog your pores, and will need to thoroughly cleanse your skin after using it
