Why am I so nervous around my girlfriend?

Often, especially if the relationship is in it's early stages, you might be worried you'll embarass yourself in front of your girlfriend. This isn't usually a cause for concern and should ease off as you two get closer. Take your time and try to step out of your comfort zone every now and then, for example doing something with her you wouldn't normally to try to get used to being with her, this will help you relax and enable you to become closer until you no longer worry about how you act; you know she loves you and she will love you for who you are.

There can be a few reason as to why you are nervous around your girlfriend. First of all you could have the fear of being rejected in what you do, for example giving her a simple hug. Next you could feel nervous that you are not good enough for her, which keep in mind she chose you (if that is the reason). However if you are genuinely scared of her, because maybe she is abusive verbally or physically then that is another issue entirely and is not a healthy relationship. However the other two are quite healthy in a relationship when managed in the right way. Just be sure not to let these nerves disturb your relationship.

Sometimes, we are eager to impress those that mean the most to us. For some, this person could be a significant other. Feeling nervous around this person is usually normal. Do you feel the need to impress this person? Do you look up to them? Are you worried about embarrassing yourself around them? These are all healthy things to be nervous about, and will fade with time and practice. However, being nervous around a significant other can be a sign of an abusive relationship, depending on the reason. Are you afraid they are going to hurt you or say something mean? Do you often worry that they will lash out at you for saying the wrong thing? Are you nervous around them because you are afraid that they will make fun of you or embarrass you? If your answer was yes to any of those questions, you may be in an abusive relationship. For help with relationships, visit our guide or research some more on the topic

There may be a lot of reasons about that. First of all you have to check are you good fit with her. If you decide that you are good fit than you check, is this nervousness is always or just in some cases and situations. Share with your girlfriend your thinking and check is it right or it is just your feeling. Usually it can be just the feeling which distort our perception and make feeling so nervous. Conversation is the best solution which helps to increase the awareness about current situation. Only with honest conversation you can the answer what makes you nervous, and make decision what actions will you perform

Well, It sounds like you are nervous around your girlfriend. Are there any reasons that you can think of yourself, to why you may feel this way around her, maybe to do with any past events that may have happened between the both of you? Depending on how long you have both been together, you may feel anxious about how you appear in her eyes, or that you want to be your best self in front of her. Have comfort knowing you are not alone in this aspect, and there are many others experiencing the same thing. It is normal. Have you read the 7 cups of tea guide on relationships?

In my personal experience, relationships can be very stressful for both parties. In the beginning stages of a relationship, the novelty of the relationship, as well as the pressure of being with someone romantically can cause anxiety when with your significant other. Nerves are completely normal in relationships, and can even, in fact, show how much you care and want to impress the person you're with. However, nerves can also show a level of discomfort with the individual, thus hinting at incompatibility or lack of vulnerability. If you have not yet opened yourself fully to your girlfriend, that can severely factor into your comfort level with her, and thus cause anxiety around her.

Maybe you are nervous because you have an expectation of her to like you/love you and that keeps you in state of not wanting to make any "mistake". Although, this question can be looked from other sides, for example if you are new couple it is understandable to feel nervous cause you are just getting to know each other and see each other's boundaries. But on the other side, if you're not a new couple then this nervousness may be a sign of something deeper that is waiting to be questioned, like you are not yourself with her, or you don't feel good enough.

Only you know why you are so nervous, try focusing on the physical and emotional response when you are around here and try and think about the thoughts that come into your mind. This may help you understand why you are so nervous. It's okay to be nervous and maybe speaking to her will help you feel less nervous. You never know she could be just as nervous as you are. If this is your first relationship this is completely natural and will fade with time, even if this is just a new relationship nerves happen to us all.

First of all, consider how old you are. If you are still in high school it could be because your body has not fully come to understand all the hormones. You are experiencing the strong emotions hormones evoke for the first time. It may be you are nervous because you don't have much life experience yet and you are trying to understand who you are, your likes and dislikes, and generally what you are about. If you are a young adult or an adult, it could be that you are so attracted to her that you are trying too hard to make sure that she likes you. If you're always trying to impress or always choosing to do what you think she would like, that can make you anxious. Casually open up and share yourself- your likes and preferences on many levels with her as time progresses. If it's a healthy, positive relationship, the more you share your real self with her and she accepts you, the more comfortable and less nervous you will be. Emotionally healthy people are not nervous being themselves. If you are just getting to know yourself, or if you doing some self-improvements to become a better person, take it slow. Accept how she responds to you and move forward.

Being nervous is a positive thing. It's your body's reaction when something important is happening around you. On the other hand, there's anxiety. Anxiety and nervousness can be confused sometimes so I'll give my thoughts on anxiety as well. Anxiety is the feeling you get when your mind is telling you that it wants to do something, and you try to shut it down. So if you're feeling anxious around your girlfriend (and not just nervous) it might be because there's something you want to express to her but aren't allowing yourself to. But if you're really just nervous, try to enjoy the feeling of your heart pumping in your chest. It's like the moment when you're getting on a roller coaster. Your girlfriend might be just as nervous as you and if so, now the two of you can laugh at how silly it is that you both feel this way around each other.
