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. 
Sweating isn't just about feeling hot; it's actually your body trying to signal something's off. The idea that others can pick up on it through the scent of sweat is wild, but it makes sense when you think about how we naturally pick up on emotions around us. It’s like your body is trying to warn the people close to you, so they can be ready for whatever’s causing that stress.
