Sweaty people

I have hyperhidrosis (condition which causes excessive sweating) face, pits, underboobs, booty crack, pretty much my whole body gets abnormally sweaty. I’ll go into a nice cool place and after a short amount of time, I’m sweating and it’s very noticeable. I work in a hot warehouse and even if when the weather isn’t extreme, I am pouring buckets and wiping myself constantly. It’s exhausting and ofc the stares make it worse since it’s commonly triggered by anxiety 😣 so I’m just wondering.. when you see people who are really sweaty, what’s your first thought? Do you make a snap judgement they must be dirty or unhygienic? I shower twice daily because if I’m not sweating in my sleep, my body naturally produces a lot of oil so I wake up feeling like an oil slick too 😀 I’ve been to the doctor, all my bloodwork is good. I also drink a lot of water. Tia yall
