I get nervous whenever somebody gets 2 close. My palms get sweaty. It affects my romantic life. What do I do?
Question:
Answers:
When you say it's the same with your family do you mean you feel the same way when they get close to you or other family members exhibit the same symptoms?
Either way, it seems at first to me that you may have some anxiety issues, a nervous disorder or some other psychological issue. Do you perspire very easily under other situations? I would suggest consulting a psychologist or possibly a physician as well.
I personally sweat very easily under any conditions (borderline hyper-hydrosis) but when there are people around it gets worse since the nervousness I feel about sweating makes me even more nervous. I have been able to lessen it to some degree by trying to change my mindset and calm myself down which consequently regulates my breathing and results in less sweat. Realize also that many people won't even notice you are sweating unless they are close and looking at you. Even then, what does it truly matter what they are thinking? At worst, it will be a passing recognition that you are sweating and then it will be out of their minds.
Best of luck!
soak your hands in lukewarm water with salt. It should prevent your hands from getting sweaty and all.
you have to learn how to relax and trust people.
wear gloves and close your eyes
Start with having a dog.
Obviously you have issues about people getting close to you for some reason and it would help if you could examine the reason behind it but on a forum like this, it would be impossible to get into that. You're exhibiting a form of anxiety and if you truly don't want to feel this way and there is no real basis for it other than nervousness, I would go down to my local health food store and buy a small bottle of Rescue Remedy and the next time I was going out on a date I would take a few drops of that and keep it in my purse too and use it if I felt nervous. It's a very natural substance that has no side effects but is very calming for any anxiety based emotions. It works very well for short term problems, but you do need to work on the underlying issues for the long term. Try learning some meditation or yoga breathing exercises that teach you calming/centering that can help you to feel more in control and less anxious. Also try to find ways to build up your confidence a bit? Everything like that will help!! Oops - almost forgot to give you the website for the Rescue Remedy so you can read about it -

Hope this helps and you get past this! Never any fun to feel nervous around other people! I am/was terribly shy but have learned to control it - even speak in public, etc so trust me, it can be done!!
I'd like to know this. I'm the same way.
