I can't even play videogames or write (with pen or keyboard), interact with people, get a job etc. etc. because my hands are super-sweaty

[AutisticMonstrosity]

My hands are literally dripping wet almost all the time when awake. If I try to play my PS4 or Xbox One, I have to wash my hands after 30 seconds - 2 minutes using the coldest water I can get from the tap.

There is a cure, but it costs 850 euros (iontophoresis device). That is a lot for unemployable life-long NEET. Only a bit less than driver's licence at minimum hours (after law changes, it used to cost over 2000 euros). I have needed eye-glasses for two decades, but still don't have them because of cost. (yeah, should have bought them instead of game console from a sale, because my eye-sight is so bad that I can't even read medium-sized text any more even though I sit at the edge of the sofa and have moved the sofa 3 times closer to the TV. I get vertigo if I try to play games even though I would not read any texts, so I don't play at all)

I can't play multiplayer games because I can't pause them to wash hands with cold water.

This problem is bigger in summer when the sun shines to my room.

I have a Chillstream controller, but it only works on the PS3 and the L2 and R2 buttons are like in the PS2 controller (on or off, not like since PS3).

I don't compose on the computer long texts because of this hyperhidrosis.

I have kitchen paper over my computer mouse now and wipe the keyboard using it all the time.

And this is without SSRI. If I take SSRI, my sweating problem gets even worse.

I was referred to skin-policlinic because of this condition (from mental hospital), but they can only lend the iontophoresis device for a few weeks, after that I need to buy it myself. (I wanted to use that opportunity to ask for isotretinoin for my face and chest, but did not have the courage because I am so ugly, thus regarded non-sexual and was already way too old (mid 20's)) Because I live alone, the iontophoresis takes double the time, because I can only do one hand at a time.

This is genetic, life-long, since small child. Like my bad skin, moles, acne. Autism. Short height. OCD.

Even in winter? Wtf.

Even in winter? Wtf.

Yes. I mean inside, where it is normal room temperature.

 

[AutisticMonstrosity]

Clearly this is NOT an incel trait, because you are not interested.

 

[AutisticMonstrosity]

If I had a girlfriend, this problem alone would be enough for her to end the relationship.

Today was a totally wasted day because of my excessive sweating, like the previous days also. Even my back is soaking wet, and there's no iontophoresis for back.

Fuck, I think I have no choice other than buying the iontophoresis device for my hands and feet. If I wasn't subhuman like that, I could have used that money for driver's license, PS5, escorts...

At some point, I started experiencing motion sickness when playing 3D games. I was fine as a kid, however, and I was actually pretty good at FPS games. I still don't understand why I deserve to have one of the greatest copes taken away from me.

Also, not sure if this will help or not, but some of the very best starcraft players actually place a towel on top of their mouse:

. Maybe that's more effective than kitchen paper.

Damn that sweating problem sucks i didnt even know it existed, and then being a poorcel on top of that makes everything more difficult im sure. Makes me grateful my parents are well off and supportive, as ignorant they are.

Some of us really are just cursed from the beginning with shit genes and shit bodies. Normies get to at least enjoy pleasure in their youth but others have the misfortune of suffering from the beginning.

Being reminded of physical maladies like this makes me interested in virtual reality and mind uploading. I get obsessed with this idea of inhabiting a virtual existence where one can inhabit whatever body or avatar they desire and disregard the limits of a physical form.

Damn your life is cursed. God is truly cruel.

Is your problem related to bad eye-sight? Mine probably is.

I already had bad eye-sight when I lived at home, but my parents did not buy me eye-glasses! I did not even see what was written in school into the chalkboard, even though I tried always to sit in the front row. My math (and other) grades suffered because of bad eye-sight AND because I was slow writing things because my hands were so wet all the time, even the notebook would become un-readable, and the graphite from "lead" pencils sticked to my hand.

I've had my phone got broken, not because I used it in the rain, but because it received too much liquids from my hands while talking.

I bought PS Vita, but have not been able to use it at all, because of my hands sweating. PSP was better in that regard, but its left "stick" (there's no right stick like the Vita has) is badly drifting, maybe because of my sweat.

I think it likely has more to do with my ear. I have hearing loss in my right ear and I never wear earbuds because I can perceive the difference in volume (and that infuriates me a lot). I also have ear infections from time to time. I think that fucked up my sense of balance. I also can't take long rides in SUV. The last time I did it I felt like throwing up for two days straight.

That sucks Most phones nowadays are waterproof, even the low-end ones. Hopefully, it won't happen again.. I certainly don't have the same condition, but my fingers always have too much moisture for me to play rhythm games on my iPad. That's why I play games on my PC most of the time.

There was no market for it, there's no controller made for sweaty-hands since Windows XP and PS3 era (but it does not even have triggers, so many PS3 games are unplayable on it!). I have that controller and use it to play some PS3 games. Racing games do not work of course, because it is 100% throttle or nothing, not like the real PS3 controller.

I have several problems that even alone would make me incel.

My hands are fucking huge (they feel like they should be on a 7ft guy) so for the past 4 years, using a controller was weird for me.

 

[AutisticMonstrosity]

Let's imagine that I would be good-looking and no autism: I would be insta-rejected in nightclubs when taking a girl by the hand to the dancing floor, because of my super-wet hands (palms). And my hands are always very cold!

Mby cut them off so you wont sweat anymore
