Our brains may be in a state of relaxtion and suddenly become more entergetic, causing anxiety to take over how we feel.

Anxiety has that effect, your brain tells you danger or something bad is near even when you're safe. I have anxiety, and I rush myself to not be late to school just because I get SO nervous when I walk in and everyone stops and stares. I'm totally sure on why anxiety has such an effect, but basically, your brain is nervous, therefor, you're nervous.
Heyo there.. Being nervous is an everyday thing, tho it being without a reason and still reaching some sort of extreme levels could be a sign you're experiencing anxiety. It could be that you're anticipating something out in the future without being aware of it, or maybe you're nervous for a reason indeed but you refuse to address it. Can also occur because you perhaps keep in many worries and fears inside without dealing with them and nervousness became a state your mind experiences on a usual basis.. Its best you just sit with yourself in a calm environment, or with a professional, or someone who knows you really well and try to think of why you're nervous this way.. Figuring out the reason is the first step to get rid of it
Try consciously relaxing by controlling the breath. Make the out breath longer and deeper than the in breath. Engage in exercise to release stress built up in the body...it all helps..
There are many possibilities of nervousness that may be seemingly out of no where. An anxiety disorder, hidden stress factors, an environment you're uncomfortable in, so on and so forth. You should visit your doctor or therapist for a proper diagnosis.
Almost everyone has experienced this. Perhaps there is something that happened to you, or maybe something will happen in the upcoming days that could have triggered this? Sometimes we do not realize that something is making us nervous but after taking the time to think about it we find the source of what is making us nervous. Try to sit down and journal about your day , write down every thought, maybe that will help you figure it out.

There is always a reason for your emotions. Try to pinpoint when you feel especially nervous- maybe while at school or work; at home; while taking tests or speaking in front of a crowd; or while you are around certain people.
Maybe there is a underlying issue you have not reflected on. Sometimes you don't know your self completely!
Anxiety! It is a natural part of our bodies. However if you are feeling nervous all of the time perhaps that is another cause. An anxiety disorder could be the culprit. You can start meditating or using breathing exercises to help calm down. When you are feeling nervous stop and ask yourself why? Often times we can calm ourselves down just by realizing there is not real threat.. If these things do not work maybe it is time to try talking to a doctor about what your options are. But remember that it is normal to feel nervous! We just want the feeling to be manageable.
I too feel anxious most of the time , even noises and sounds worry me
A lot of things can cause this. Sometimes going from being at home with only a few people and then going back to school can make someone nervous. General anxiety is also not uncommon. A lot of the times people feel nervous because something in their life isn't very secure. One small thing can make you feel generally nervous. I think it's important to figure out what that thing is, and what leads to more anxiety.
It's most likely because you are experiencing some form of anxiety. It can be really difficult but just remember you are not alone! :)
Could just be hyperness. haha...sometimes you get nervous just for the fun of it. Do something adventurous.
That could be a part of your anxiety, and the fun parts of making you really nervous for no reason all the time.
People get nervous for many reasons but if you feel there is no reason that you can pinpoint it may be more than one event causing these feelings. Try to make a list about things you may have been experiencing that can cause you to feel nervous. Then you can have a more clear view of your current situation and hopefully find the source of your nerves. You may have a hard time thinking of these but be patient and really focus on the things in daily life that may be causing stress which is making you feel a constant state of nerves.
maybe you may have anxiety,, try relaxing a little bit. Try talking to someboy close to you maybe your mom or a friend.

Possible cause of anxiety or something you're excited for. If there is anything out of the ordinary happening in life ie. Party, school etc try to find out what's happening and from there you can figure out how to fix or stop it
You could have anxiety. Nervousness for seemingly no reason can be signs of anxiety. You might want to go see a doctor.
Maybe because there is something that is bothering you unconsciously,which is imposing danger on the balancing of your ego
You may be unconsciously worrying about something happening or going to happen in your life. It's perfectly normal, just make sure you're taking care of yourself also
Feeling nervous for no reason is usually a sign of anxiety. Anxiety and stress are the most common causes of nervous stomach. Here’s why:
Stress and anxiety activate the stress response. The stress response secretes stress hormones into the bloodstream where they bring about specific physiological, psychological, and emotional changes that enhance the body’s ability to deal with a threat—to either fight with or flee from it—which is the reason the stress response is often referred to as the fight or flight response.
In addition to all of the other physiological changes the stress response brings about, it causes the body’s blood to be shunted away from the stomach to other parts of the body more vital to survival. It also suppresses digestion so that most of the body’s resources are used to either fight or flee. The stress response also causes the body’s muscles to tighten, including the body’s stomach muscles.

It could be possible that there are external stresses that you haven’t noticed yet. A good idea would be to look at anxiety guides online or try breathing exercises or meditation.
It is also helpful to talk to a family member or friend. They might be able to talk to you about other stresses or help you figure out what’s wrong.
Another good idea would be to try and take some time to yourself. Sometimes time to de-stress and have some alone time helps to clear your mind.
There are many options of people and organisations that you can talk to if you can’t figure it out in a while, but generally just try to focus more on what makes you happy.
I've personally become nervous for no reason many times. What I've noticed is that often, it's because my brain gets stuck in a loop of negative thoughts and emotions. So, what I do is I start listing positive things about the day and it seems to help very quickly and calms me down.
Anxiety can come in all shapes and forms. However, having nervous breakdowns, panic attacks or just feeling jittery can be signs of an anxiety disorder. Especially when it's for seemingly no reason. The best thing you can do for an anxiety disorder is talk to a professional. For example, a therapist could help a lot. Anxiety can be caused by a great number of things; Stress, brain chemistry, genetics, traumatic events, etc. Medication can help with anxiety but the best thing would be to take medication along with a therapist. That way you can track progress and identify your feelings.

A lot of times people feel anxious and nervous when things are out of their control and it can be hard to relax. Sometimes it's good to figure out what's controllable and what is not. So it's good to once and a while make a list of things that one is worried about and then go through seeing what is inside one person's control and what it outside that control. Then simply letting go of the worry about the things that are out of your control. It's a way to stop all that strange worrying about what seems to be nothing that wanders in the back of your head.
From my experience, even if you think there is not a reason as to why your nervous, there probably is. It may just be underlying. One thing you can do is ask yourself "what was I doing when i started to get nervous?" Once you fighte it out you can try to find out why it makes you nervous, and what you can do to prevent yourself from becoming nervous again. I have learned to overcome some of the things that make me the most nervous by doing this. I still do get nervous and anxious about a lot of things, but by doing this method I can slowly start minimizing my nervousness.
That sounds a lot like anxiety. Like the feeling that something could go terribly wrong in any second or your body feels like it is in overdrive trying to prepare for a battle when there is nothing specific in your external world that is causing you to feel that way. For some the sensations may feel like sweaty hands, drive mouth, a lump in your throat, shaking, a hard time concentrating, feeling irritable and yes nervousness or maybe all of the above. There could be a number of reasons why you feel nervous or anxious-something could trigger this feeling that but you are just not aware of what that could be, could be a reaction to something you digested like caffeine, social situations etc.... it's good to talk to people who understand that can maybe help you uncover and look deeper into your feelings of being anxious/nervous that way you can find the best way to approach a remedy :).

I tend to worry about the small things in life. I delve in the past and stress about the future which leaves me feeling nervous about my current situation as a consequence. Nervousness is a feeling every individual will experience in some point in there life and shows that concern is shown for a certain person, place or subject. Feelings of nervousness can also arise from feeling self-conscious and not trusting in my own ability to achieve tasks and goals that are ahead of me. Challenging nervousness and continuing to achieve despite the fear and nerves is best to grow as a person.

Usually nerves come from some aspect in your life. It might not be obvious and it might be something small that is worrying you. Making lists on all things you are anxious or nervous about and tackling each one at a time is a helpful reliever that could relieve you of some of your nerves. If you truly belive there is no reason behind your nerves then you might want to consider reading up on anxiety and other ways to relieve nerves and stress. You are not alone, lots of people feel this way and usually just have to get to the bottom of the feeling and tackle it to feel a bit better.
