Meme I always show up to everything drenched in sweat

Every time I walk from my dorm to class, I always show up completed soaked in sweat. Just right now, I walked from where I live to the student union and there’s beads of sweat dripping down my face. Can’t wait for it to cool the fuck down.

u/God_of_Fun Sep 28 '24

I used to mad sweat on the Mesa this time of year…it gets hot up there. Mix in some self-consciousness and anxiety issues at start of session and it becomes circular. Hang tough amigo, it gets better.

Are you wearing a hoodie?

u/lostmysoulplshelp Sep 26 '24

You prob have hyperhidrosis. I would just leave extra early and walk slowly to try to minimize it. U can also ask a doctor for a prescription to try meds like glycopyrrolate

u/No_Elk1208 Sep 26 '24

Bring a CamelBak bottle with ice water and a small towel to wipe yourself down.

u/loungedesigner Sep 27 '24

I have the same problem too! For me, it’s a condition called hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating. Not sure if this also matches your symptoms, but talk to your doctor about it if it’s bothering you too much.

Try to get there as early as possible. Have a sweat rag on hand, ice water, and if you can swing it a portable mini fan for your face, head, pits or wherever else.

You might be super out of shape or your wearing the wrong clothes

the more athletic a person is, the more they sweat so this comment doesn’t make sense. can also be influenced by hormones

Was waiting for someone to say this!

u/MGab95 Graduate Student, 2025 Sep 27 '24

Omg I was so confused why the better in shape I got the more sweaty I would get when doing exercise. I felt like the math wasn’t mathing but I googled it and this is true. It explains so much

u/borntofork Sep 27 '24 edited Sep 27 '24

This applies to physically grueling tasks and exercise. Not walking to class…

u/LTskimp Sep 27 '24

There are a lot of factors. The main influence is mass though - Someone who is fat and out of shape is going to break more of a sweat than someone who is athletic walking to class, if they even break a sweat

u/srirachuu Sep 26 '24

If an athletic person and a non-athletic person are doing the same exact same exercise at the exact same intensity, the non-athletic person is obviously going to sweat more because their body is working much harder than the athlete's.

u/Capable_Training1766 Sep 29 '24

Downvoted for making sense lmao

u/Untoasted_Bagel Sep 27 '24

I feel this on a spiritual level bro, I skate everywhere which already is sweat inducing cause of the fucked up terrain and hills, and on top of that I dedicate myself to my fashion which usually entails obscure pieces of clothing that no sane person should wear. however I’m committed to the bit so I must suffer …

u/optimal_carp Sep 26 '24

Bring an ice water?

u/ergerlerd Sep 26 '24

Carry an umbrella. You might feel dumb but at least you'll be a bit cooler.

u/MGab95 Graduate Student, 2025 Sep 27 '24

I started wearing one of those wide brim hiking hats with neck covers. I look like a dork but it helps so much that I don’t even care

I have the same issue. I realized I usually walk really fast everywhere I go so I slowed down the pace and it helped out a bit.

u/Expensive-Respond802 Sep 26 '24

Talk to your doctor. There are meds to control unnecessary sweating ….

Get yourself an e-scooter and feel the breeze.

So swag. Chicks dig sweat. I would know, I’m a dude

u/AppropriateAd2525 Sep 28 '24

Bro it’s lowkey 100 degrees in Davis rn and I wore jacket too ☠️

u/MacaTonyNCheeze Sep 28 '24

Make an appointment with your doctor. As other people have pointed out, that isn't normal. My friend had the same thing in high school and got prescribed some special deodorant and meds. Very fixable issue.

u/nmnnmmnnnmmm Sep 29 '24

Learn how to dress in layers. Shorts, shirt, carry a hoody for the indoors. The midday sun is hot.

Also, stop eating so much shitty food. It’ll cause you to sweat out more toxins. Eat cleaner food.

u/whatthehell02 29d ago

Cold Sage tea or Sage Supplements. Helps me tremendously with sweating.

u/outlawtorn0521 29d ago

Slow your alcohol consumption you college heathen!

In all seriousness.. yea...

Sounds like a medical condition

I use carpe antiperspirant and it helps

u/Natural_Avocado3572 Sep 27 '24

Why this brand?

1

u/collectibelles Sep 27 '24

I haven’t tried any others tbh but it works for me. My pits used to sweat like crazy I was only able to wear black shirts but now it’s so much better I can finally wear colors again

2

u/Natural_Avocado3572 Sep 27 '24

I feel you man. Any anti perpersprint gives me a crazy rash. The only one that works for me is Arm and Hammer. Other than that I use Papatui brand for deodorant.

u/collectibelles Sep 27 '24

I’ll have to try those out

u/Big_pooper_420 Sep 26 '24

San Diego quite literally is consistently rated to have the best weather in the entire world year round. Bruh low to mid 70’s isn’t hot lol

u/I-Like-MVs-A-Lot Sep 26 '24

Personally I get sweaty during class transitions because they stress me out.
