Relationships often carry a lot of stress/pressure and expectations, as a result it's not uncommon for your hormones to peak and cause feeling of anxiety and worry.

Perhaps maybe because you're afraid to lose her? I can guess you must be in relationship with her not long ago from now. Anyway, being yourself is important for a long-term relationship. I would suggest that you talk more to her, and don't just think of impressing her if you can't afford to.

Nothing is permanent in this world. Things comes and goes by. So does a girlfriend. If she is made for you then will stay with you

From personal experience, when you are nervous around someone you must really like them! Some level of anxiety in this situation is normal, but for people who suffer from anxiety disorders it may be more severe.

Possibly, you could be experiencing anxiety. You may feel your heart speed up, too; it can also mean you're always aware of what you say and do, trying to fit the expectation of perfect.

Has something happened either in this relationship or a previous one to cause discomfort in your relationship? Sometimes, even if our current partner hasn't done anything wrong, we still can't help but project our reactions to past experiences onto them.

Because she makes you happy and you are overwhelmed with something you have wanted for a long time and can't believe it's actually happening but you are glad that it is which is hard for you to put into realization.

It might be because you're placing a lot of value on what her opinion of you is. You might find it useful to recognise that a) Even if you say something a bit silly occasionally, it's not going to be the end of the world, and b) she may feel somewhat anxious about what your impressions of her are too

A main reason why you are so nervous around your girlfriend or significant other is because you have feeling's for them. With those feeling's come along fears and worries. You aren't good enough, smart enough, or you don't make her as happy as so and so.

People get nervous and anxious around people they find attractive. It is human nature to feel that way. Some people would rather feel hurt by a person they like rather than anything at all. so nervous is better than hurt if you look at it that way. maybe you need to be reasured by your girlfriend that there is nothing to be afraid of. Maybe it is good to have feelings like that and it probably will subside. Hope that helps

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?
