Getting nervous for no reason can be rough. It can mean you are experiencing generalized anxiety, or even a panic attack. It's so unpleasant, not to mention inconvenient! But there is definitely help out there once you recognize where to look.
When I'm feeling nervous and can't identify the reason that feels weird and paranoid, but it's not your fault and there's nothing wrong with it. It means your body is in Fight or Flight mode, which increases the levels of adrenaline in your system, which prepares the body and mind for an "attack." It feels like a physical leftover of the stone ages when you think of it that way, but really it helps you be extremely aware of your surroundings and make decisions quickly.

For me I always try backtrack to see what I was doing that led up to me feeling nervous. Sometimes I can identify the reason and other times I can't. I use to have a lot of anxiety which I believe led to a lot of the reasons why I was nervous but have managed to reduce my anxiety by walking while listening to music. The moment I my feet the ground and my music starts playing I just get into a groove. It is not always easy to figure out where specific emotions stem from but helping to find a way to decrease their effects have helped me.

i guess it has a reason but it's not visible for us sometimes. it could refer to some bad situation or maybe a test coming, maybe being nervous or having the feeling that something is wrong. those all happen. it's ok to be nercous but try to calm down. take deep breaths and trust in yourself more. you can do great in all situations. try to avoid depressed people too they could affect you. sleep well at night. try to relax everyday this could help and most importantly, be sure itis ok to be nervous and when you have a bad feeling about something then talk about it with anyone.

Nervousness can come from a myriad of places, from my personal experience, it can come from an overabundance of caffeine, or not getting the proper sleep. I've heard it said that when you feel you are anxious or nervous, sometimes it's helpful to ask the question "who are you trying to please?" sometimes our nervousness can come from expectations we have around us like performing at school or work or a desired relationship, and we're looking for a certain outcome. Sometimes it can be helpful to reframe nervousness in your mind and see it instead as something positive. Mel Robbins illustrated this well when she talks about how when you're about to go up on stage, your palms sweating, heart racing, that you may think of this as nervousness, but this is also the same feelings as what it feels like to be excited, so if you start to slowly look at it that way, that may help guide you into a more benevolent place with it.

Nervousness is a very common feeling by body present its stress response to any kind of particular situation of fear or excitement which involves series of hormonal and physiological responses that help to prepare mentally and physically to face the situation. A mixture of good and bad experiences can lead to normal nervousness like condition. It is temporary and resolves once the stress had passed but it is important to note down this too that constant nervousness can lead to anxiety so if it is very frequent thing then it must be controlled.
Your body prepares to fight or flee a threat by boosting adrenaline production. Almost instantly, your heart begins to beat faster, your blood pressure rises, and your breathing quickens, increasing your alertness and energy.
This response can result in feelings of nervousness

Perhaps something you might be feeling is a sort of anxiety. It is a problem many people face, but talking to a parent or counselor about it is always a good idea. We are only here to listen and support you as listeners. I understand that it might be scary or difficult to consult a person you know or don’t know in person. It was brave of you to open up to me here on 7 Cups. Would you like to describe more to me what you may be feeling? Maybe then I can better understand your particular situation.

There no such thing as getting something for no reason. The condition is there, but most people don't realize it. Before that nervousness strikes, there is something that came up in your mind for sure and it's triggered by any kind of things that you see or hear that is connected with the event in the past.
Other than that, Let's say you have to give a presentation in front of a lot of people, nervousness might strike you if there is a lack of confidence in self. Lack of confidence in self might come from the lack of understanding on what you're going to presentate.

Nervousness can be triggered by a number of factors. Even if, in the moment, you are unable to identify what the reason is behind it, you may find there are unconscious stressers that have been impacting your feelings. For example, have you been sleeping well recently? Have you been eating and drinking well? Have you gotten some fresh air and exercise? Have you been spending time with people that make you feel comfortable and relaxed? It could be that there have been things in your week that have unconsciously been unnerving you. Either way, listen to your gut, it could be telling you to take a break and practise some self care.

Remembering issues or challenges makes you nervous
Of you remembering you will face a crowd of people makes you nervous
Having self confidence can control it
Having high self esteem can also help to control being nervous

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out~
Everyone gets nervous and some wants to prevent it, but do they know what might cause it? I personally believe it may be fear, or worry that triggers the body's stress response. It is when your body prepares to fight or flight, it is expecting/preparing to face the situation.
But getting nervous for no reason can be coming from thoughts or surrounding that may look normal or harmless. However, the body may react differently than your mind so you might think this is usual for you but your body is preparing itself to fight or flight (maybe your body is not ready for something).
I hope this explanation of my thoughts can help~ Glad you spoke up about it💜
