In my experience, there usually is a reason even if it is not evident to us. I have found I am more nervous during hot weather. When I am inside a room with artificial lighting. When I am in a new place. When there are new people in the group. I think environment is a huge part of the equation. Sometimes its an event that may be weeks away but is already getting to me if only subconsciously at that point. I usually find if I stop to think about it, the reason for nervousness becomes evident and I am able to go from there and work on it.

I tend to worry about the small things in life. I delve in the past and stress about the future which leaves me feeling nervous about my current situation as a consequence. Nervousness is a feeling every individual will experience in some point in there life and shows that concern is shown for a certain person, place or subject. Feelings of nervousness can also arise from feeling self-conscious and not trusting in my own ability to achieve tasks and goals that are ahead of me. Challenging nervousness and continuing to achieve despite the fear and nerves is best to grow as a person.

Usually nerves come from some aspect in your life. It might not be obvious and it might be something small that is worrying you. Making lists on all things you are anxious or nervous about and tackling each one at a time is a helpful reliever that could relieve you of some of your nerves. If you truly belive there is no reason behind your nerves then you might want to consider reading up on anxiety and other ways to relieve nerves and stress. You are not alone, lots of people feel this way and usually just have to get to the bottom of the feeling and tackle it to feel a bit better.

That sounds a lot like anxiety. Like the feeling that something could go terribly wrong in any second or your body feels like it is in overdrive trying to prepare for a battle when there is nothing specific in your external world that is causing you to feel that way. For some the sensations may feel like sweaty hands, drive mouth, a lump in your throat, shaking, a hard time concentrating, feeling irritable and yes nervousness or maybe all of the above. There could be a number of reasons why you feel nervous or anxious-something could trigger this feeling that but you are just not aware of what that could be, could be a reaction to something you digested like caffeine, social situations etc.... it's good to talk to people who understand that can maybe help you uncover and look deeper into your feelings of being anxious/nervous that way you can find the best way to approach a remedy :).

It could be possible that there are external stresses that you haven’t noticed yet. A good idea would be to look at anxiety guides online or try breathing exercises or meditation.
It is also helpful to talk to a family member or friend. They might be able to talk to you about other stresses or help you figure out what’s wrong.
Another good idea would be to try and take some time to yourself. Sometimes time to de-stress and have some alone time helps to clear your mind.
There are many options of people and organisations that you can talk to if you can’t figure it out in a while, but generally just try to focus more on what makes you happy.

From my experience, even if you think there is not a reason as to why your nervous, there probably is. It may just be underlying. One thing you can do is ask yourself "what was I doing when i started to get nervous?" Once you fighte it out you can try to find out why it makes you nervous, and what you can do to prevent yourself from becoming nervous again. I have learned to overcome some of the things that make me the most nervous by doing this. I still do get nervous and anxious about a lot of things, but by doing this method I can slowly start minimizing my nervousness.

A lot of times people feel anxious and nervous when things are out of their control and it can be hard to relax. Sometimes it's good to figure out what's controllable and what is not. So it's good to once and a while make a list of things that one is worried about and then go through seeing what is inside one person's control and what it outside that control. Then simply letting go of the worry about the things that are out of your control. It's a way to stop all that strange worrying about what seems to be nothing that wanders in the back of your head.

Anxiety can come in all shapes and forms. However, having nervous breakdowns, panic attacks or just feeling jittery can be signs of an anxiety disorder. Especially when it's for seemingly no reason. The best thing you can do for an anxiety disorder is talk to a professional. For example, a therapist could help a lot. Anxiety can be caused by a great number of things; Stress, brain chemistry, genetics, traumatic events, etc. Medication can help with anxiety but the best thing would be to take medication along with a therapist. That way you can track progress and identify your feelings.

People get nervous for many reasons but if you feel there is no reason that you can pinpoint it may be more than one event causing these feelings. Try to make a list about things you may have been experiencing that can cause you to feel nervous. Then you can have a more clear view of your current situation and hopefully find the source of your nerves. You may have a hard time thinking of these but be patient and really focus on the things in daily life that may be causing stress which is making you feel a constant state of nerves.

I have learned to be reflective.
I take a moment when I feel anxiousness coming on.
I know that as soon as I can address that small swell of a wave solved while it is just a ripple, the better I will feel about it.
I grew up in Southern California and would go to the beach to play in the waves.
Waves can get pretty gnarly sometimes during those summers, so I would have to address when to ride a wave over the curl and when to move back out of a wave.
It's risky then because a little lousy timing will suck me down into the wave and by the force of that wave crashing on me will force my face into the sand with swirling water over my head.
If I get past the waves, I am just navigating the beginning of the swells.
It's so much jargon navigating the waves I suppose, but the principle behind it is apt.
I can use these analogies navigating my stress and anxiousness, and it helps a lot.

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?
