I used to be socially awkward and uncomfortable and I would perspire profusely, but only in social settings where I was expected to interact with others, like a wedding reception, or a family reunion, or something like that. I was an introvert and socially inept. I could feel perfectly comfortable in a crowded place if there was no expectation of me socializing with the others. Over the years I forced myself to learn how to socialize so I no longer feel uncomfortable in social settings. I even initiate conversations with total strangers, especially those who look as uncomfortable as I used to be, in hopes of drawing them out and helping them to fit in better.
