frankly, you cannot avoid being nervous. when it comes, it's there. and it affects one's demeanor and pulls down self-esteem. there are ways, though, that can help you handle your nervousness. taking a deep and well-savored breath is one. closing your eyes and focusing your thoughts on suppressing nervousness is another. even chicklets or gums, i heard, helps one manage being jittery or nervous.
