Why am I so nervous for no reason?

I found that I have become so used to being nervous that my body language remains "nervous" even when I have no reason to be. My jaw will stay clenched, I'll be breathing heavy, my muscles will be tense and my thoughts will race. I've read a book called unf*ckology by Amy Alkon and it talks about how it is typically thought that your emotions are what dictate your body language. But she goes on to say that it can also be the other way around. Your body language can also dictate how you feel. So if you smile for no reason right now, you will feel happier. If you start breathing faster, you'll feel nervous. I took that information and began to pay more attention to my body. When I find myself breathing fast, I'll make an effort to take deep breaths. I'll randomly find that my shoulders and jaw are tensed and I'll let them relax. And then I stop feeling so nervous.

it sounds like you are experiencing anxiety. Are there particular situations/environments that this happens in more than others? It would be helpful to understand if you are experiencing a reaction to something in particular which you would be able to work on. Anxiety doesn't need to be caused by anything, which is what makes it a difficult topic to talk about. Despite this, it is important to let someone know what you are going through. I am glad you seem to recognise the feelings you have which a great start. If you want to help yourself at home I recommend googling mindfulness, or spending some time talking to a listener on 7cups to find some more resources :)

When are the times that you feel mostly nervous? At random timings or when you're in public? You probably are so confused and might be hating it. You just want an answer because this nervousness is taking up your energy, emotions and time and it just happens at times you might be feeling like you can face this thing or when you're enjoying a conversation with your friends and it just messes everything up. It's ok to feel overwhelmed and torn up and what you're feeling is totally normal so don't be so hard on yourself because you're not alone and I am so happy that you came forward to share your feelings

Maybe ur overthinking about things going on.. so try to relax and meditating really helps. We often feel that way maybe it’s either related to something big coming up that is making u nervous.. but excitement and nervousness are something to handle specifically so it’s okay it’s just a matter of time.. u can always feel free to talk around or people u trust and u ll see that it’s making u feel better.. so feeling anxious or nervous are just like coming and going part of our feelings u don’t really have to focus because u want to create a better environment for urself and u become what u think

Maybe on a conscious level you don't realise the reason for your nervousness, but, when you really take some time to evaluate yourself. Start asking yourself ,why do i feel this way, maybe it is anticipation of the future or innate fear caused by past trauma. it also could be change in your routine . Whatever it may be ,once you start to uncover a little bit and find ways to combat it , the nervousness will start to slowly become distant. Just take some time to be alone or with a trusty presence and look into yourself. Most importantly, trust yourself

Feeling nervous for "no reason" is common emotion. From experience, I have noticed that not being in touch with your own emotions, feelings and thoughts might result in confusion. This leads to ambiguous feelings that we cannot identify and therefore cannot deal with. Usually, resulting in feeling overwhelmed and nervous. I believe, that being able to talk to someone and express how we feel, really does help. This is mainly due to the fact that they might be able to provide us with a new perspective that will help us understand ourselves better. I hope this was helpful to some! Thank You!

Nervousness comes cause of many reasons sometimes we know it sometimes we don't. It happens when you have had many incidents where you have been judged or have been embarrassed. So overtime you develop a sense that you're being constantly judged or evaluates and that's where your nervousness starts developing. Other than that you might be subconsciously scared of something which engenders your nervousness. There are many ways to overcome it like developing self confidence, practising self validation and communicating about it to someone who understands you properly. As per my experience nervousness is short termed and as soon as you startvlearning about things deeper you gain confidence in yourself.

Your brain is trained to protect you from danger, and is constantly on alert for anything that could hurt you. Sometimes, your mind feels as though there must be some kind of danger nearby, even if there isn’t. It’s trying to help you by being vigilant, and this makes you feel nervous for no reason. Even though you have no real reason to be afraid, your mind wants to keep you safe and make sure you don’t get hurt. This nervousness is temporary, as your brain will soon realize that everything is fine, as long as you remain cool and focus on staying present and not spiraling

Sometimes being nervous can be because of something that is in the past. Not just because of something you are worried about in the future. You may be worried about something in the past affecting your future, or may simply be worried about how a situation will turn out. There are multiple reasons to be nervous, but that is okay. Being able to realize you are nervous is a good first step. Once you realize that you are nervous, and have labelled it, it will become more manageable and easier to conquer. Being nervous is not a bad thing, and labelling it in and of itself is a great first step in defeated that nervousness.
