Anxiety comes as a natural thing to us when we are trying our best. Perhaps you like this person so much that you want to give this person your best impression and the feeling that you get is that of walking on eggshells when you are around him.

Maybe because you are expecting something from him, and you don't want that to be yours in particular situations.

You might be nervous around your boyfriend because either you aren’t ready to be in a relationship yet, or you think that he’s moving too fast for you.

Inferiority complex, maybe. The wish to be being liked always and not facing his reactions. You may think negative for urself or that relation.

He makes you feel emotions which others do not. He raises your interest levels in ways which make you feel unsure about your own identity. It's natural to be nervous. We want to be seen and heard in ways which makes us seem sometimes more then were not. But by being secure with are own identity we will not worry about what may be silly or something we don't know about. Being are true selves is the most important thing and if we do that, we can learn to always be comfortable with most people and situations. If we find we can't be at peace ever around another it may be someone you are naturally protecting yourself from. Hope you find some solace in these words

there could be several reasons. if you're new in a relationship then it could just be that you're still trying to adjust into something that may be a little unfamiliar. if it has been a couple of months, it may be a little more difficult to answer this question. if you're nervous about how he thinks you are looking, then that may be problematic. in a healthy relationship, your boyfriend could recognize that you are beautiful inside and outside. so at this point, if you are worried about physical appearance, that may be a little problematic regarding your relationship.

You should try to evaluate what you feel about your boyfriend, and this will help you answer your question. Nervousness can arise from good feelings and bad ones. Maybe you are really into him and you haven't expressed it yet, in which case you shouldn't be worried about it. However, it can also be a result of you being insecure in the relationship, or not trusting him. If this is the case, you should really take some time out to reexamine the relationship. Does he judge you or make belittling remarks, or make you uncomfortable in any way? If that is the case, then the nervousness is a sign of an unsafe and toxic relationship.

It might be that you are putting a high expectation on yourself to perform to an extent. Depending on whether it is your first relationship or not, you may be thinking about a lot of things and it shows in your physiology - being nervous. It helps to break that barrier by being open around him and understanding that he, like you, is a human being and it's likely that he is nervous too. Drink water and be as calm as possibly can be. But also - there might be a valid reason to your nervousness and never forget what your body tells you about someone, if there is a reason for that nervousness. The situation may be potentially dangerous or anxiety-inducing to you.

This could be for a number of reasons but only you can answer that question fully however; I would like to assume positively here and in my most recent experience, the cause of my nervousness with my (now husband) other half was because he gives me all the feels. Despite being friends for nearly 20 years before we started dating. He is really smart and knows a lot about of a lot things which could be intimidating at times and he is so darn cute it was hard not to be! It was never anything like he was arrogant or anything like that but I wanted him to be proud of me and not seem uneducated.

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?
