sweat energy

Sweat energy is the palpable tryhard aura someone radiates — the vibe that communicates 'this person cares way more than the situation calls for' before they've said a word. You feel it in the setup they've described, the way they warm up before a casual session, the intensity in their eyes during a game that objectively doesn't matter. Sweat energy can be contagious in the best way when you need the team to focus, and deeply exhausting when you just wanted to have fun on a Friday night.
