Sweaty hands during handshakes

I sweat a lot in the summer and in hot weather. After giving sweaty handshakes I internally cringe and it kinda throws me off my game. Any advice to avoid giving sweaty handshakes? Am I the only one who does this.

Go to a dermatologist to check whether you have hyperhidrosis, which is a condition in which you basically sweat semi-uncontrollably, it's in varying degrees and can be from different extremities (some have it on their hands, others on their backs, some on their neck/heads which is the worst imo). Humidity will affect it to a huge degree (also really sucks that most financial centers are in humid to very humid places [Singapore, HK, Tokyo, NYC in the summer, etc.]). There's some medication for it but it's not always reliable unfortunately. Check out r/hyperhidrosis also, good resource

I would immediately have socker punched you if you shook my hand with your sweaty palms. Regardless of the situation, or hierarchical standings. I am serious, don't do it. I will kill you. 

 

Admit you get sweaty around attractive people.
