I just had a job interview and exam last week..I was concentrating too much to be calm but when the test papers were passed to each one of us I felt that my stomach is starting to twitch..**Urgh**that same old feeling when I'm nervous..I don't know if I want to throw up or what.. Luckily I passed all the examinations but when the initial interview started gosh the pain started all over again.. How about you guys..what weird things happen to you when you are nervous??? Thanks and Happy mylotting to all..

I tend to forget things or what I wanna do next when I'm in this condition. I'll end up pacing up and down as it helps to calm me down. Otherwise I may just look like a fool...

Hello there tomitomi!!! Oh that's really frightening especially when you are at speech or meeting But the good thing is that you know how to relax and let it all calm down..I think that's pretty amazing.. Thanks for sharing..

Yes it's pretty scary especially in a speech or meeting. That's why I'm never far from a piece of notebook and a pen.

I know each one of us has some nervous reaction... like me, when I am nervous then my heart beats so fast and i feel like my stomach is empty and feel like starving for something... or my face turn red ... I dont know why but it just happen all at the same time. if your stomach gets you hurt badly then you should talk to the doctor about it

When I get nervous yes my stomach starts to hurt and I'm in the bathroom every fifteen minutes. Its horrible to feel this way but I just can't help. Lucky thing is that I don't get nervous that much. I would get nervous driving, or speaking in front of people while in a meeting. I just wish I could be one of those types of people who don't get nervous and are able to speak in front of others without a problem. Maybe in my next life.

I sometimes feel that way sometimes. i tend to have goosebumps and then my stomach starts to hurt. i think it's a reaction of our body towards fear or something like that.

I won't eat when I am nervous. I just don't feel good and so I don't eat so that I won't throw up! I can't stand to throw up and my motto is "nothing in - nothing out!" My insides get in a knot but then when the tense moment is over I can eat like a cow!!

As far as I am concerned, I think I am sometimes shy before a lot of people. But seldom have I felt that my stomache pain. What matters me the most is that I am usually feel my face is so hot a tthat time I am in front of so many people to have a speach.

When I am nervous my hear beats so fast I find it hard to breath. My hands feel so cold and I feel uncomfortable. I could not just stay in one place. I have to mobe and walk to and fro. When you see me doing that it only means one thing- I'm nervous over something or maybe someone.

I get the stomach aches, I also cant eat if Im nervous, like I when I had a job interview, I couldnt eat all day as I was so nervous, sometimes I come out in a nervous rash as well, my cheeks go red and I get a rash on my chest, this happened while I was on a telephone interview once, thankfully its never happened in a face to face interview, dont know why I was more nervous on the telephone one.

ufff i had a girlfriend with that case exactly the same, what she start to do is to eat a small piece of bread and milk to avoid the pain. in my case i look the opposite, than how i feel, more centered and clear in my answer, pretty sharp and fast. is weird my friends knows that I'm nervous but someone that doesnt will think that i might look pretty confident haha.

Hi HI khaezi, mmmdont know if is mind over matter haha but one think you can really try is to visualize the interview before you go i think preparation is a good way to diminish the nervousness. so take your time to answer what ever is also a good idea :-)

When I'm nervous, I get clammy or cold hands. I also tend to shake or tremble and sometimes during job interviews I squeak because I'm too nervous. One good thing though is that even if I get nervous I still have my wits about me and I pass the interviews.

Congratulions for passing your exams,. When I'm nervous I feel my body is shaking, but you wont really see it. I also talk fast when I'm nervous that no one will ever understand the words I'm saying, lol. I also try to calm myself up because no one will understand what I'm saying, but it's not easy, although deep breathing does help sometimes.

Luckily khaezi you didnt have a mental blackout. When i'm nervous i feel my arms and feet shaking. Its hard taking in air sometimes. You can even hear your heart beating. One time i was very anxious/nervous to take a test. The more i think of it the more it became worse. Little did i know i was already having a panic attack. Even though i was already panicked i still took the test. Fortunately the more i concentrate on the test the more my nervousness subsides. Good thing i didnt blackout from answering the exam.
