When you're feeling anxious, your body starts to sweat as a way to signal others around you. This response might have evolved to alert people nearby so they can be prepared for whatever's causing your anxiety. Studies using brain scans show that smelling the sweat of someone in panic activates brain areas linked to emotional and social cues. Essentially, your sympathetic nervous system releases hormones like adrenaline, which then makes you sweat.
