sweatdrop
Anxiety's visible sign
A sweatdrop is a visual symbol in manga and anime—a single large drop drawn on a character's face or head to convey embarrassment, nervousness, or awkward discomfort.
The convention has spread to emoji and internet communication, where it signals similar feelings: sweatdrop... that was awkward.
Sometimes written as two words.
