#awkwardphlegm

I suffer from a phenomenon called stress phlegm, or as science calls it; Anxiety Mucous.

What this means is that any time I’m experiencing any kind of anxiety, much like head sweat or armpit sweat, the inside of my throat likes to sweat. This makes conversation difficult when I’m not relaxed.

Don’t get me wrong, I get all the other kinds of sweat too; I turn into Moist’s sad super hero sister; Damp.

If you need something dampened, or made soggy, I’m your gal. Please don’t take that the wrong way.

So if I’m ever excessively clearing my throat and holding my arms at my side in person, take it as a compliment. It just might mean I find you attractive enough that I’m stress sweating.

Or, more likely, I can sense someone attractive on my radar, and the impending doom of their presence has set my defense mechanisms into action.
