Hello friends, We all do something silly when we are feeling nervous. I have seen people tapping their leg, biting nails, even some people start talking stupid and make no sense at all. I bite my nails when iam nervous and also i prfer to go to the loo and spend some quiet moments to regain my confidence if iam pushed that far, So what u guys do when u r nervous? Lets share! Cheers, Tutul

When i get nervous i find something to hold like the cap of a pen, or a lighter then i play with it. Sometimes i shake my left leg.

When I'm nervous I feel like I need to pee or something is running inside my stomach, I even get the feeling of being numb with my lower part of my body, I cant move or step a little, well that's me when I'm nervous.

Hey, Yes going to the loo is a very good option. It helps u in many ways. Firstly it gives u the extra time to think and act. Also u get few moments where u can be alone and thats makes a huge difference as there is no one to bother. I think u need to rub your palms when u feel numb, I have heard its good for blood circulation and thus u can try it. Cheers, Tutul

Yes I do. I try not to do it but if I have really bad nerves I do it then. I am getting better, sometimes I go days without biting them. Once you start the habit its hard to stop.

Just the other day I found out something surprising and started biting one of my nails. Before I knew it I bit most of it off. So I guess surprised along with being nervous are the culprits for me.

Hi Yes,i have seen many people biting their nails while nervous.But i think it is not a solution to the situation.It is not good in any manner.It may be harmful for the health too.Must avoid it.
