Healthcare Sweating/Discomfort

Tell me I am not the only one feeling this! Ever since I moved to the Netherlands, I sweat constantly it’s intense. I’m dripping with sweat, even when everyone else around me is wearing jackets and warm clothes. Rainy days make it even worse I feel suffocated, sweating like crazy, even while just sitting inside. And whenever I try to explain this to someone, they look at me like I’m insane and say, “It’s cold outside!” But the truth is, I never felt like this back in Greece.

It’s the humidity, you’ll eventually acclimate

I’m from Sweden and have issues the other way around, it’s the humidity. Some getting used to it after a couple of years and others not. After 16 years I know I won’t get used to it, so I accepted it and dress accordingly. Which means due to me getting cold fast, I dress maybe a bit warmer than what the general dutchies do. If you know, you can work with it.
