what makes you nervous?

[Chris]

When I'm waiting on feedback from someone I respect. Time just seems to slow down.

I get really nervous about things like that too. I have mild autism (aspergers), but as weird as this might seem, no matter how different someone is it's hard for anyone to make new friends. It's just as awkward for them as it is for us. I keep telling myself that, but I fizzle out and end up not talking still. Sometimes I feel like I should act like I'm into what they're doing, but then I reconsider and act on who I am. And nobody can get away from themselves, even though it seems like people just go along with things, hidden thoughts are an illusion to the other's mind. It's really easy to make a plan to make new friends, but in reality it's much more hard to act out. I think if people tried more often instead of feeling awkward, then way more bonds would be made, and this would possibly be a better world. But alas, nervousness is a foe that always gets back to you. In the end, potential bonds are lost because of nervousness. Heck, I'm nervous to talk to some of the people on here too anyway. I get the idea that in real life and on the internet people will not have same interests as me because of past experiences. A lot of the people my age are immature jerks who care about no one but their selves. But if we can all work together and try to make an effort to bond in different places then we can actively shape the world. After all, a little kindness can go a long way.

I too also have high functioning autism and I know where you are coming from there and I have had these experiences myself and I feel the same way. I work very hard on what is important to me and at the same time trying very hard to reach out to others and treat them with a lot courtesy and respect. I feel I should constantly push myself no matter how many times I doubt myself and worry about my actions towards others, I seem to find a way in the end and something will go right. Even today I have found a few close friends who I really trust and love and will stop at nothing to look after them as they have helped me with a lot of issues with life and have helped me find confidence in myself and shown me how much compassion is needed in society today and that we all have a part to play to spread it, no matter who we are.

Any time my dog throws up. I know it's usually nothing but I start getting nervous and freak out because she almost died from parvo as a puppy and now I can't help but remember that every time I hear the wheezing and see her struggling to let it out.

I get nervous about a lot of things since I have anxiety...
but yea i tend to be a bit shy as well when i'm put into a big group of people i don't know. i'm actually new to a school and it's kind of hard because these people have known each other for years and all have their cliques and here i am coming out of no where, so yea my nervousness has been pretty up there lately
but i'm actually really good at appearing calm and chill in situations that might make me nervous. like, if i have to do a presentation or whatever i just learned to cope with the anxiety in a way. it's actually kind of bad, to put on this act of appearing so calm and stuff, because i tend to bottle all these things up until i get home and then i'm just like over thinking everything for the rest of the day..

I don't really like socializing in front of strangers either. It's like they always assume it's rude when you say nothing.
"But what can I do myself? I don't even know you and neither you to me."

I get nervous about anything extremely easy, I am a hypochondriac after all...

For example, my dad wanted me to get on a boat in the pond in our backyard, and I > hypochondriac-ed < (I made that up) out. Not to mention that this pond is tiny.

The dentist, I don't know if they're going to jam a needle down my jaw again. I just want a regular dental check up and clean up sheesh...

Whenever i go to swimming it makes me nervous i don't know why all this happened but i want to overcome all this, did anyone of you have some suggestions for me.

I don't really get nervous anymore. I only get nervous when there's cute girls everywhere! (◡‿◡✿)

Depends on your definition of nervous. I have both social and general anxiety, so I have a variety of things that really stress me out.

I can talk to people in person with no problems (aside from getting bored easily due to people being boring), but I can't stand having to call people. Starting a new class is also horrible. The fact that I'm an introvert who has a hard time enjoying most people's company also doesn't help, lol.

Otherwise, anything that triggers my OCD, like people interrupting my habits, and stuff like having to wait to see the doctor/dentist.

just talking to people im not close to makes me really nervous
that and people complimenting me. ive never known what to do with compliments irl

 

[StarMayor]

Two big ones for me are talking on the phone and having to do or say something in front of more than one or two people (like class presentations, I'm very happy I don't have to do any of those anymore.)

That said, it does make me nervous when I'm walking around out in the town or something and people walk way too close to me. I actually have to stop and let them walk past due to have anxious it makes me.

Cops when I'm going 3 over the limit O.O

Everything makes me nervous. Everything. Going to my night class? Nervous. Walking to the bus stop? Nervous. Talking to someone new? Nervous. Having to make a phone call? Almost in tears because of how agitated I am. I mean, it's hard but I'm used to all of this... Kind of.
