What makes you nervous?

Everyone gets nervous at one point but we all are nervous at different things. Someone can be nervous just running down their block while others can be nervous at talking to a girl for instance. What are you all nervous about? I get nervous when I am in front of a big crowd and I have to make a speech. Even if I know every single one, I still get nervous. Pretty weird huh. And, when I get nervous, I start to bite my nails which is horrible. I also get nervous when I'm at the gym, I feel weird. LOL What do you all get nervous about? Or what makes you get nervous. Do you do anything weird when you're nervous?

Everything makes me nervous LOL. When my computer is super slow, when I'm hungry, when I can't sleep, when someone don't understand what I'm saying, when someone says something stupid, when my sister is not clean and makes a mess around the house, when I drop something, when I can't do something, when I don't want to do something, when I have to do something, when I have to meet somebody (I hate talk and even say hi to new people), etc, etc. I could make a whole list hahaha. I get nervous in many ways, but mostly in that annoying way to start to scream and being mad, mostly that LOL.

Hi. infatuatedbby. I get nervous when I see a cop come through my neighborhood, especially when I know that I have been late on paying my rent. Well, my husband pays the rent. I also get nervous when I have to perform or stand up and talk in front of a large audience or crowd. I also get nervous when I have an job interview that I am attending. When I get nervous, I can feel my face and neck get really hot. I also shake a little too. I used to bite my nails when I am nervous, but not anymore.

An event. :) It makes me nervous. hahah! Whenever I play on a Gig, no matter how many times, I still feel it. Whenever an incident occur, like gangs running almost in front of you shooting each other. Whenever I'm in a place that I am not used to, like a place that I might be thinking that something bad will happen to me, like walking alone in the underpass, or an empty street, I am nervous if some one is interviewing me, I don't know why. Hahah! :) and yea, if the girl I really like talks to me, I get a little nervous. Hahaha :)

The only thought that makes me nervous now is the fear......the fear that if anything will happen to my children.....my son is in army, he has just learned driving and goes out driving alone....my daughter is sweet sensible girl who will son marry........I love my family and all the time I get over worried about them and my imaginations work like oil in fire........so I become more and more nervous. And when I find everybody safe at home.......I relax and can sleep in peace....... I wish God had given us heart of stone which had no feelings, then I would never feel nervous

Things that i don't understand will make me nervous. i think it is more the uncertainty of a circumstance than anything else that brings this feeling on. the unknown world has more power than we think it does.

hello.. interesting discussion here. well as for me, I really get nervous when I don't have idea or can not imagine what's going to happen next? for example is when I am inside a taxi, and i sense that the taxi driver is kind of scary. It's really making me nervous and scared of anything that could happened in between.

I get nervous in big social settings. I get equally nervous if I know everyone or don't know anyone which is odd. i always get really nervous when meeting a boyfriend's parents for the first time or meeting his family. I think this is obvious because my current bfs mother told him she could tell i was nervous! i also am nervous when first starting a job, and i usually am nervous until i know the routine and feel comfortable which takes a few days. After that, i never feel nervous again. You can tell i am nervous because i sweat and/or blush very easily. I think these are the two worst things that can happen because when they do happen, i just get more nervous and it is a vicious cycle :)

Anything new and unacustomed to makes me nervous and unconfortable (new relationships,...), large groups of people ( giving public speeches and presentations,...) . Also, dangerous and risky situation or where much is on stake (job interviews,...) Yet there is hope on the horizon that with age and experience things will get a little easier, time after time, year after year. The little bit of nervousness, the butterflies in the stomach are nevertheless a good sign to me that I'm on my toes and that I'm giving my best efforts. There is no shame in admitting that you are nervous and exited. It shows that you are human and that you care for what you do.
