Idk what to do, and I'm rlly insecure abt this.

Im gonna be so honest. I'm not sure if this is hyperhidrosis or whatever cuz it seems like ion sweat as much as other ppl. But damn do my hands and feet sweat like hell. Getting home from school my feet are hella sweaty that you can see my footprints on the floor from my socks after I take my shoes off. And my hands, oh my goodness they frustrate me to much to the point of insecurity. I can't ever high five or shake hands with a friend. The close ones tell me how wet my hands are. "Why are your hands so like, clammy and wet?" I know they don't know how insecure I am about it and they mean no harm but it still hurts everytime someone says something similar to that to me. And when I have to shake hands with others, I just know that's what they're thinking. It's so upsetting. When I'm nervous it's so much worse. Say I'm presenting smth in class. I don't even have to be nervous like in general but the moment I start speaking it's like a 3 minute timer before I'm dripping head to toe and I stumble over every other word. I wouldn't be nervous if I didn't sweat like this. But it's genuinely so frustrating. I've been told I even get red as a tomato as well in these situations.

This should be the least of my concerns but for some reason it's a real big one. I'm in eighth grade. Ppl date yk. In the future when I find someone, and this is gonna sound so silly, but I'm worried I won't be able to hold hands with them, or it'll gross them out.

Anyways how do I fix this. My whole life this has frustrated me and I can't find anything that'll help.
