Why am I so nervous around my girlfriend?

You two have not both shown your vulnerable, embarrassing sides to each other. When two people are in a relationship, they generally let each other know about everything. That’s the great thing about being in a relationship! Two people can entrust each other with their most private thoughts and emotions without any judgment onto the other. You feel anxious likely because you and her have not done this yet. And if you both have done this, it’s likely there is still something you are hiding from her, or she is hiding from you. Also, you both may have not expressed your equal love for each other. 2. You two are just not compatible.

Nobody knows you better than you. Self-reflection may help you understand why you are feeling nervous around your girlfriend. Think about this: is the relationship new? Have you made any changes in commitment (meeting her family, spending more time together, moving in together, etc)? It is important to remember how critical direct communication is in relationships and so if you feel comfortable enough, it may be helpful to have a conversation with her about how you are feeling. Perhaps you are feeling the way you are due to something unrelated to your relationship with her. Personal reflection and communication are essential to healthy relationships.

Maybe because you really really like her and are scared to mess things up. Loving someone can be really scary, but also very exhilarating and fulfilling and amazing! Or maybe, if its your first relationship or if you've just started dating, then you might be nervous just because of how novel it is. It's not necessarily a bad thing to be nervous. I would recommend talking to your girlfriend about it and letting her know how you're feeling. If she's a good one, she'll be understanding about it and it will help you calm your nerves. Or it might be nice to talk through your feelings with another friend or family member to help understand why you are feeling the way you do.

We are all human and I think we simply want to look as best as we can in the eyes of other people, especially those that we care about. You probably care about your girlfriend a lot and you would like her to see your best qualities. Maybe you are afraid, that she will somehowe be disappointed with who you are or see you as somebody else than she has fallen in love with? How do you think: is she also stressed when she meets you? Is that stress paralysing or more motivational? Maybe it helps you realize that you care about her a lot?

It is normal to feel nervouse when with your girlfriend as you feel pressure to make sure she is happy and you do not want to make yourself look silly. But remember she is with you for a reason and she likes you for you. Chances are you are worrying about things you don't need to worry about. You may also be nervous because you like her and this feeling is abnormal to you. Just remember she likes you for you and you have no reason to be nervous. If you feel like it you should tell her you feel nervous. Theres a high possibility shes nervous too.

If it is a newer relationship it is quite normal to feel nervous. You might want her to feel proud of you being her boyfriend and act the best way possible and avoid any mistakes. For now you might just want to see her your best sides. When a relationship grows and people feel more comfortable and safe in it, most people will show all their sides without masking anything, talk about things, which is healthy. Some people, though, might stay nervous because of low self-esteem. They might feel not being good enough which can be a result of unresolved issues in childhood.

i am a girl so i would switch it to a "boyfriend" for starters. i think what would be the thing that makes me nervous is the fact that i do actually like them very much to the point that their appearance makes me nervous, i believe that if i had a crush on a boy long enough, my body would release adrenaline and Epinephrine as a message for me to say i am now liking this guy, and i truly do not want to screw everything up so i better have my survival instances with me in case something bad happen i would take care of it, it is kinda funny, isnt? lets say that the guy i am with, we are now in a very long and serious relationship, them i think the only way i would be nervous around him is if i want to say something, or if theres something that have changed, or even, if i liked them more to the point i had all the feeling from when i had a crush on them, i realized how valuable he is to me, and how wonderful he is to me that i am in a point when i liked them more and more! or maybe because i now they are about to do something or say something that would change our relationship, to a better situation, at this point i would become nervous, or if i want to do something, it depends, but overall, i would be really nervous if it is going to a better, or if i do something, i would be angry sometimes, sad, happy, comfortable, very comfortable and pleased, but also, nervous

Being nervous around your girlfriend could mean different things: 1. You could be feeling stronger emotions about her than before and worrying if she's not feeling the same way. 2. You could be thinking that your girlfriend doesn't love you the same. 3. You could be drifting apart from her and not realizing it. 4. You could be feeling guilty for something. That is normal. You are just embarrassed, many people feel that way. Once you get more comfortable dating her, and more comfortable with other people knowing you're dating her, you will feel much better.

Sometimes it can feel like we need to take on a role around significant others. For me, it can be stressful to be around my boyfriend when I feel that I'm expected to act a certain way. Of course, I'm not familiar with your personal situation but anxiety surrounding being with loved ones is exhausting. It can also feel like you might "do something wrong" and become unworthy of their love. I have certainly felt that way before. But it's important to know that those feelings are usually not indicative of reality. It might be helpful to also discuss feeling nervous with your girlfriend and see her perspective. Hope that was helpful!

If it's a new relationship, that's a good sign! You like her and you don't want to mess up the relationship. Her opinion matters to you and you want her to keep liking you, That's healthy, normal and sweet! It's a different story if you'e been in a relationship for a long time and left the honeymoon phase. Do either of you have anything to hide/any insecurities? Do you dread seeing her? If yes, that's something you need to talk about, and maybe reconsider keeping the relationship going. Essentially, you're the one in the relationship, you know the story. Figure out why you're nervous, then try to solve it!
