Why do I always feel so anxious/nervous?
This is my first question ever, so this might be in the wrong category. Anyway, I'm wondering if anybody can help me figure out why I have a problem with being nervous all the time. I get very nervous around people I don't know, and I always get really anxious when I have to talk to a group of people or give a presentation in school for example. I'm a junior in high school, and whenever there is a class discussion my heart beats really fast and it feels like all the blood is rushing to my face. I know it's unreasonable for me to get so nervous about things like that, but I can never get over it anyway. I tried to fix the problem myself but I still get nervous very easily. Does anyone know any way I can fix this issue?
Why do I always feel uneasy and nervous?
Turning Stress into Success 1. The starting point to turn stress into success is to lessen your load. Eighty percent of the cure can come out of writing down all your cares and responsibilities in order of priority, then eliminating the least important. 2. Remember that Superman and Superwoman exist only in comics and films. Everybody has a breaking point, so recognize yours and call a halt before you reach your limit. 3. With stress comes pent-up feelings. Get them "off your chest" by sharing them with a trusted friend or counselor. This of itself can bring immediate relief and helps you to think and plan more objectively. 4. Stop fighting situations that can't be changed. As one father told his impatient teenager, "If you would only realize and accept the fact that life is a struggle, things would be so much easier for you." Learning to live with and get on top of struggles is what helps us grow and mature. 5. Watch your diet and eating habits. When under stress we tend to overeat—especially junk food which increases stress. A balanced diet of proteins, vitamins, and fiber while also eliminating white sugar, caffeine, too much fat, alcohol and nicotine is essential for lowering stress and its effects. 6. Be sure to get plenty of physical exercise. This keeps you healthier and helps burn up excess adrenaline caused by stress and its accompanying anxiety. 7. The ultimate answer to turning stress into success is to learn to trust God through Jesus Christ and live in harmony with his will for your daily life. God's peace comes through accepting and trusting in Jesus Christ. "Don't worry about anything, instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs and don't forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand." Philippians 4:6-7 Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please 'give me the courage to change the things I can change, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference.' And again, help me to trust my life to you in every situation in which I find myself. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name." Visit : www.spintruth.com

Especially in situations where you are worried about somebody or some event outside of your control. 3 If you are nervous about a task that must be completed, think about how much you have prepared for this task.

Why do I always feel nervous when going to work, especially when I actually arrive and start working? It's not that bad at all. It's just the moment of going there that makes me super worried.
Do you mean only at your current job, or at every job you’ve had… or is this your first job?Please define Going to work. For you, does that mean from the moment you step of your own front door, or when you board the car/bus/train or pass a particular landmark, or what? The moment of going there doesn’t sound at all like the journey does it?Similarly for you, what do actually arrive and start working mean… and why are they different? Does actually arrive mean in the car park, at the door of the building, the door of your office, at your own desk or what? (Not to quibble, and did especially when I actually arrive and start working? It's not that bad at all mean especially since when I actually arrive and start working, it's not that bad at all?)Again, what for you is super worried?Also, is this the only thing in your life, now or in the past, that you feel or have felt super worried?After all that, how do you feel about this problem during the rest of your day? When you leave work, or arrive home, or go to sleep, do you worry about worrying next time you go to work or does it crop up afresh each time, as though it were new and spontaneous?
Why do I always feel extremely nervous before an event but always calm during the event?
Amazingly this is a common occurrence and happens to most performers, presenters, and event organizers. Over time, I have come to believe that your nervousness is a function of having idle time to contemplate all of the horrible things that might go wrong -- and, unfortunately, your imagination often exceeds reality. During the event, you are focused, and much of the time to engage in idle and self-destructive speculation is occupied by other activities. So you become calmer. On personal performances and presentations ... One presentation coach I know suggested that I drink a can of coke prior to the presentation. I tried it and it worked like a charm. I asked him why it apparently works so well and he replied. One, it takes your mind off the presentation, and two any idle time during the presentation will be consumed as you try not to burp. Funny, but effective. There are only few things that should concern you: mismatch between yourself, your message, and the audience, clarity of the message, and overcoming the need to explain minor details to an expert audience with sufficient background to understand what you are saying and smart enough to ask questions in the Q&A if they don't understand.
Why do I feel nervous about going out with a few of my classmates?
They are your classmates but you don’t know them? That sounds odd. Are you all students in a bigger class? If so, then I’m wondering why it’s just the six of you and no other girls.You wonder why you feel nervous. Well, since you have highlighted the facts that (1) you will be only girl in a group with 5 guys and (2) you don’t really know any of them, I’d say that those are the reasons you are feeling nervous. They are good reasons for feeling nervous.You mention something about starting an “official club”. If you are meeting up specifically to discuss this, then I’d suggest the following -say you can’t make it to the meeting (any excuse will do),in the meantime find a few other (female) classmates who might want to be part of the club,for the rescheduled meeting take the girls along with you.If you can’t find any other girls who are interested, would you still want to go ahead with forming this club? Remember at every meeting it could just be you and the 5 guys. Or maybe more than 5 guys if they get their male friends to join.If you feel too uneasy about all of this, there’s no shame in pulling out. You could just say that you’ve thought it over and you’re not sure you have time for it. Or you’re not sure you really have enough interest in the topic (whatever the club is focused on) to actually be part of a club. It doesn’t matter what their reaction is - you have to do what’s right for you.One thing that life has taught me for sure: it always pays to listen to your gut feelings.
Why do i feel nervous for no reason at all?
The three things I would suggest looking into: (1) Anxiety disorder. I have a friend who would have mild to severe panic attacks, and finally sought treatment when she had insurance. It was related to a combination of family-inherited traits, past trauma as a child that was still healing which would trigger postponed panics as an adult, and even blood sugar and diet. So she changed her diet and was given some medication to prevent it from being a problem. (2) Attention deficit or hyperactivity. Even if this does not apply directly to your case, some of the same resources that help individuals and families cope with nervousness and lack of concentration or focus may help you indirectly. In working with students, teachers and parents on mechanisms to cope with this, I found some of the same advice or solutions to help other people in general as well. (3) Empathy or hypersensitivity I have met other people besides myself with a special sensitivity for feeling the emotions and thoughts of people close to me (either personally or physically). This can cause either sudden or longterm anxiety or distress indirectly because I am "empathizing" with someone else in distress. It does not have to be in my immediate environment or knowledge for me to experience their feelings as if they were my own. In extreme cases, I cannot tell the difference. So again, even if this does not apply directly in your case, the books, counseling, or exercises offered to help people to deal with emotional empathy may help you to cope with nervousness and anxiety. Whether or not the anxiety is caused by reactions from your past or from your surroundings, some of the same methods may help you that are developed for disorders that cause similar reactions in people. The main thing is not to be afraid of it, but to look for coping mechanisms that work for you in the meantime while you try to identify, reduce or correct the causes. Even if it is something that you cannot prevent totally, there are ways to work around it that may help you feel more prepared and confident and less worried or fearful no matter what it turns out to be.
