Are you a nervous person

January 22, 2009 1:14pm CST
Are you a nervous purvis? I am so nervous it's unreal! I have no idea why I am like that. But any time I have anything even remotely new or different to do, I get nervous and twitchy, I have no appetite and cant eat a thing. How about you,Do you get nervous and if you do, how do nerves effect you?

I get nervous over a lot of things, even just going to work even though I've been there since November of '07. I think it has gotten worse over the past few years.

what do you do to calm yourself down?

I try to just take some deep breaths and think about something positive, such as going home afterwards and going to be with my little one. It usually helps calm me down a little.

I get nervous for certain issues like before attending any interview which is obvious,when i hear news that someone is seriously injured,when i have been made to wait for a long time, at all these instances i get nervous.

I think they make you wait for a long time on purpose.

I don't consider myself an overly nervous person but there are some things that will consistently set my nerves on edge -- doctor or dentist appointments will do it every time (I have high blood pressure and, by the time I actually get called in to see the doctor, it's ridiculously high. Fortunately my GP acknowledges and understands my "white coat syndrome"), traveling alone can make me nervous (business trips, not pleasure trips), speaking in front of large groups (although, once I get started, I'm totally fine and almost enjoy doing this), things of this nature. I think there is a big difference between nerves and stress. More things stress me out than make me nervous, for sure!

Hi 3cardmonte. I get nervous with things people do and say. Some people simplely don't have brain and it get me nervous. If it happen I can't sleep and most of my appetite gone. You can see that this happen many times because we need to live together with anothers persons all the day. But some people say and do things that we can't believe they could. Some times it is funny but some times not. Have a nice day.

I don't get that nervous, at least not unless its a big thing. I get really nervous when I have to talk in front of people, start a new job, or meet a big group of people that are judging me. Like I work at a water park and Im a Supervisor so on the Orientation day where they have me take the new crew on a tour I am always jumpy wondering whether or not I'm forgetting something and if they aren't going to do as I say because I seem nervous on the first day. I try to take deep breaths and not to worry so much...but it doesn't always work.
