GIRL TALK: Stressed About Sweat


 
Is it normal to have really sweaty hands? Is it normal for your hands to sweat when you’re holding someone's hand? If not, how can you prevent it?

-Anonymous

Well, how exactly how sweaty are they?  If your hands are so sweaty you can’t hold a pen or button your shirt, then you may want to talk to your doctor about your condition.  But if your palms get mildly sweaty when you’re stressed, anxious or nervous, then congratulations, sweetie, you’re perfectly normal! 

Sweaty hands can happen to even the best of us!  While you can cover up sweaty pits with tons of deodorant, sweaty hands are harder to hide, which can be a little embarrassing.  But if you’re nervous about holding someone’s hands because of the possibility of sweaty hands—don’t be! 

It’s also entirely normal for your hands to sweat a little bit when you’re holding someone’s hand.  After all, both of you are probably ultra-nervous, which doesn’t help the situation.  So instead of stressing about sweaty digits, take a deep breath, count to 10 and just have fun!

Ciao bella,
L’Oreal

MOD!
Please help me! I need help! I have a crush on a guy who already has a girlfriend. He and I have been talking, Iming, and texting for about a week now, and he says he can't choose between us! He says he's confused! He and I have been flirting though, and I wanted to know if it's cheating. I would never do anything like that on porpouse, so It just occured to me last night that I could be helping him cheat on his girlfriend! I would never do that! Please Help! xoxo, me




Well, it's a fine line to walk. There's no harm in innocent talking, but since the two of you have expressed feelings toward each other that aren't just friendly, my advice to you is to lay low. How would you feel if you were his girlfriend?! If it's meant to be he will realize he likes you and be with you. But I wouldn't pursue the issue any more. 




Much Love,

Drea

MOD um, i kind of have a perdicament right now.....

 

 

Hey Girl, If your truly feeling this way you need to take it seriously and really talk to your doctor or mom right away. You need to be happy and know how loved you are, and enjoy life. PLease tell your mom right away she wants the best for you and will do anything to help , you'll be surprised how undestanding she will be, and your doctor can offer you some great help programs or even some medicine. Please hang in there, and talk right away! If anything else I care.. stay safe and hang in there! *Cara T*

~archuletafanxo1713~

energy is measured in kilojoules, which transfers to calories.(not a 1 to 1 ratio)You use energy fro everything you do, breathing, sleeping, body heat, & ect. With everything you do, you burn calories. So if you want to be healthy, all you need to do is eat healthy & be active! (In other words, yes, laughing burns calories!) Smile

archulatefanxo-
i just looked up ur question online, and it said yeah laughing DOES burn calories.
it also said everything - from crying to shivering to EXISTING - burns calories.
kinda cool.
it burns ( idk if this is a true or an estimate or what) 10 to 12 ca. per minute.
who knew laughing was so good for you?

I've been using Lady Speed Stick deodorant for a while now, and it says on the lid that it stays on clear. But why is it when I put it on and then put a black shirt on it leaves white marks? They're so annoying!! How can I avoid these marks?

MOD
I have a problem... I'm friends with a dude (lets call him.. Jake)on the football team (that doesn't really matter) anyways I'm friends with Jake, and last week, Wednesday, our class went up north (i live in michigan). So I keep on asking him before we went, who he's goning to sit with. He said, "I don't know. Why?" I said, "Just wondering" He was like, "What? You wanna sit with me?" Me: "Sure, I guess" Which was my whole goal in the first place. So after we got on the bus we just kind of talked for a whole, then he wanted my ipod and he liked all my music (all of which is kind of dorky). After aways this other guy over a few seats, started making fun of me, like "Are you going out with Jake?!?!" I said "No" He's like why you sitting with him them?? And he keep on being mean to me and I began to cry, so my friend in front of me came and comfort me and Jake switched again and tried to comfort me to saying he was a jerk. But for the whole field trip, Jake was standing by me for the whole time. So, Friday comes around and another dude was asking if I liked Jake the whole day and so Jake stood up for me and Said, "Well I like batman. He's HOT!" and everyone just busted out laughing! So wat I trying to ask is, do you think Jake likes me?
PLEASE ANSWER ANYONE I NEED HELP!!

Mod/Girls,
My bff's cousin supposedly likes me and I like him. He asked for my number and for my bff to give me his. Right now we are just friends and text. My bff thought he had a gf, but wasn't sure and said she was two years younger if he was still even going out with the girl. He doesn't live in my town, he is couple of hours away, but visits often. Anyways, my bff spent the night this weekend and we went on his myspace and he had on there i love ( girl's name here). My bff told me I should send him a text saying that and then another saying oops wrong number to see what he would say. He hasn't said anything. The girl's name could be used as a boy's too and it is also my girl cousin's name. Should I be worried and if so how should I fix this? Also, how long is too long to not hear from someone, because sometimes he doesn't text me for a couple of weeks?

Ok, so I have like emotional problems. Not only do I have a super fiery temper, but I also get upset SUPER easily. Even if I know I'm wrong, I will keep arguing until I die! And then, I'll get sick of arguing and I'll start crying over nothing! My mom, my sister, and my brother agree with this! Even my brother's girlfriend thinks I get too worked up over nothing! Seriously, I cry SOO easily! I will argue over nothing and I will cry over nothing! The slightest thing can make me mad or upset. Like today, my friend invited me over, and my mom said she wanted to talk to my friend's mom, and we argued for an hour just because I didn't want my mom to call my friend's mom! I'm serious, it ended up with my mom getting super angry and me crying! And it was over nothing at all! Even if I know that I'm wrong, I'll keep arguing and I hate it! I hate how easily I cry or how easily I get angry and upset! How can I stop being so emotional over everything? PLEASE HELP!

MOD please help me!
okay so there is this guy in my youth group and i think i might like him. I only get to see him once a week cuz he doesnt go to my school He is really funny. I havent had a real convo with him yet, cuz this youth group is new, but he seems really outgoing.
He has smiled at me before and has held a door and opened a door for me. He looks at me sometimes. He starts convos with a lot of ppl but he doesnt to me! Whats up with that?! Everytime if i say something to a guy i like, i end up being tonuge twisted or saying something stupid. So im scared to talk to him.
Do u think he likes me? How can I build up my confidence and say something that actually makes sense?

 

Hey babes, you just have to make yourself available to conversatio. If you are unapproachable, he isnt going to try to talk to you. I dont think he likes you if you havent even spoken to him but it doesnt have to stay that way. oJANA

dancechiky456 on 10/12/2008 8:58:05 PM

kk16,
maybe you can try to tell if he likes you. Does he keep the convo going? Does he seem happy when u are around? I think you should try to sort out the things he has, and hasnt done that makes you feel as if he likes you.
He might not be answering your texts cuz he might not know if he likes you ur not! trust me, if a guy avoids u, its eaither cuz they like you or they are gonna break up with you. But ur not bf and gf so it must be the other solution!
hope i helped!

dancechiky456 on 10/12/2008 9:07:30 PM

Dancechiky456,
Thanks for the help. He does seem to keep the convo going. I haven't actually seen him in about a month. When I saw him we didn't get a chance to talk in person, because he was picking up my bff and stuff. We only talked on the phone when he visited. He just kinda stared at me with a kinda blank face like he didn't know what to do or say. I hope it is the other solution! Lol! Anyways, thanks for the help!!!

kk16 on 10/12/2008 9:20:34 PM

I forgot to tell you good luck with your guy!

But all the guys are like u must like 1 of us cuz u r always hanging withus but then i blush cuz that's embarassing and i never really like any1 wat should i do.

 

Hey babes, just tell them that you like to keep your personal life private, thats it. xo JANA

Im not sure about my sexuallty. I just tryed to tell my friend  I know im bi but i dont know what to do. One girl at my school is and no one wants to talk to her. Also, if i tell me mom, i think she would be mad. My mom is so racist with these things please help

 

hey babes, all you can do is be yourself. When you are ready for the world to know, tell them.Until then there is nothing wrong with keeping it to yourself. This is a time when you will find out who your true friends are. See it as an obstacle that is going to make you stronger. xo JANA

omgitslauren1411---
It's perfectly okay to be unsure of your sexuality. I'm bi, too, and it's something that's more prevalent in teens today. You are NOT alone. Join some websites   As for your mom, if you generally think that she would disown you, you should probably wait until you're self-sufficient to tell her. Coming Out day was yesterday, but there's a time and place for it all year long!

OK so a rumor went around that I liked someone, things cooled off in a few days, but now i cant even talk to the guy without people snickering! The only way we talk is via email, which gets boring. I want to talk to him, but the weird looks people give us... What do I do? I really want him as my friend!

 

Hey girlie, ignore the looks, those people are immature,things will only be weird if you make them weird. xo JANA

Hey babes, if he liked you, he wouldnt ignore you. If you like him make it known and see if he follows your lead. xo JANA

MOD I am probably starting to babysit REALLY soon and I went through most of the babysitting articles on GL and it was helpful! I just need a couple of tips on how to make the kids & parents like me ALOT. Like my little cousins always brag about a sitter they like alot. Help? THANX BUNCHES!

 

Hey babes, the best way to make someone like you is to be fun and nice and sociable. The biggest complain i heard from the woman i babysat for was that their old babysitter didnt share anything about herself. Parents want to know that they children are loved and cared for, they dont just want a warm body to sit there and make sure things go well. xo JANA
