Well it can sometimes mean that you're really stressed or have a lot of tension in your life. For me it's always been a sign of being overwhelmed and stressed so I try to take into account whenever I feel this way. There are other things it can mean as well though! Sometimes it can be something like tensing up in preparation for the future and sometimes it can be something like being nervous for meeting a person or doing a presentation. It really does depend yourself though and how you react to many different situations and stress in your life.

When a person get nervous for no reason, it is because of human's instuition. We felt something is wrong and we dont know what it is but your body senses it. well there are other factors when u got nervous for no reason. one of it is because u should do something but dont know what ur about to do. ur body response to that is changing ur feeling into something isnt sure. But most of the time it is rlly nothing to worry about. It is just a body reaction in a certain action

When people get nervous without any specific reason, they have a general lack of self confidence in themselves. They are more insecure than hopeful about the outcomes of the journey that they pursue and overthink the possibilities of every thing that could go wrong. This results from a deep rooted fear of being made fun of, especially if the person has a past of get bullied or simply an unsupportive family. Lack of appreciation also contributes in people constantly self doubting and second guessing every choice they ever make, which usually keeps them deprived of many great opportunities as well.

Sometimes thoughts can be worrysome. The CBT (cognitive behavior therapy) can be helpful with detecting the automatic thoughts and reframing them. It helps to question the automatic thought and see if there is evidence, supporting it.
If the automatic thought is "Oh, I am too shy to go and talk to Lilly. She does not like me anyway", then it can be questioned like this :"Is there the supportive evidence, that Lilly does not like me? Am I really a shy person? What events support this statement? Is there another way to think about this situation?"
And, the new thought may sound like this: "I may be feeling shy in the moment. I always wanted to talk to her. It is okay to fear that she does not like me. There is no evidence that supports this statement. Maybe now is a good time to approach her and have a conversation."

Anxiety is not uncommon. In fact, it’s the most common mental illness in U.S. adults. Still, many of us walk around wondering, “why am I anxious for no reason?†Anxiety is the most frustrating when it seems to come out of nowhere, for no reason. If you’re asking yourself, “how do I know when my anxiety needs treatment?â€, you’re probably at the point when talking to a therapist could help a lot. You don’t have to struggle with anxiety; it’s entirely treatable. Anxiety can be caused by a variety of things: stress, genetics, brain chemistry, traumatic events, or environmental factors. Symptoms can be reduced with anti-anxiety medication. But even with medication, people may still experience some anxiety or even panic attacks. The best treatment combines medication with therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy. If the anxiety is rooted in trauma, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) may be the best course.

There is almost always a reason for me getting nervous, or what I like to refer to as anxious. My anxiety is usually triggered by something, though it may not be obvious what that thing is. It can be hard to be objective when I get anxious, but I find it's crucial to do my best to do just that in order to calm myself down. When I take a step back and look at the situation in front of me, sometimes I can find that there is a reminder from a past experience in the present moment that is causing me to react in a nervous way. Once I find out what that trigger is, I can address it.

Becoming nervous unexpectedly is always an unknowing battle. For me, I sometimes experience physical effects like sweaty palms, racing heart beat and being lightheaded. Emotionally, I’ll feel “all over the place;†numb, angry, depressed, and manic. Mentally I’ll feel exhausted, racing thoughts, out of control or on auto pilot.
These are a common occurrence in what I identify as anxiety, or in extreme cases, a panic attack. These identifying words are not something to feel ashamed or embarrassed by as many individuals experience these same feelings and onset of symptoms.
What helps me in these moments is practicing mindfulness techniques. I would recommend utilizing the 7 cups anxiety guide for more understanding and practices to help in these moments.

probably due to a lot of loads or frustrations or stress happening due to external reasons. Or sometimes being physically unwell. So you reached your limits and can't take it anymore. So you burst out at any trigger even if it is so tiny or trivial. Since your cup is already full of other issues. May be trying to get out or relax would help to be able to cope more with external issues, or make you feel calmer.
Or may be try to write down what is bothering you or causing you to feel stressed and nervous for no reason

When I get nervous for no reason, it usually means that there is another problem in my life that I don't realize, or that I'm refusing to address. For me, nervousness is a sign that I need to do two things. First, I need to spend time doing self-care tasks that will soothe my worried state of mind. Secondly, I need to identify and then take steps to improve the root cause of whatever is making me feel nervous. Oftentimes, I find the root cause of my worries to be that I'm moving too fast and not taking enough time to rest and recharge. In those cases, I circle back to spending time on self-care rather than tasks that are mentally taxing. I also take steps to lighten the load, whether it be taking a step back from accepting work and school responsibilities, or making sure I spend less time on my phone.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
