Butt sweat is like your body's way of saying, 'I’m worried!' When you're nervous or stressed, your brain sends a message to your sweat glands, which are especially busy in your back and underarms. This makes your clothes feel damp, especially in the middle of an important conversation.
Examples
- You’re giving a presentation, and suddenly you feel wet from the middle of your back down to your seat.
- During an exam, you feel your clothes getting damp in the middle of your body.
