Why do I always get extremely nervous even though I'm doing what I love and am good at?

This nervousness comes from you caring so deeply about whatever it is that you are good at. It shows that you are invested in it and you want to do well. A certain amount of nervousness and anxiety is required in order for you to feel motivated, but too much anxiety can make it feel worse than it is. A balance is required.

Even when you love something and are good at it too, we tend to still have that nervous feeling about the possible outcome. You just want to wow the crowd and do your best that you can, that's all that it is.

You seem like a very smart and hard working person.
The reason is you are not used to doing it.
the more you do it, the lesser of the feeling nervous will appear.
I believe you can do everything perfectly .
I wish you all best luck :)

You care about it so much that you're afraid you'll screw it up. You have to believe that you are wonderful and talented enough to do well in what you want. Don't let the pressure overshadow the passion!

That sounds like a sense of anxiety. Anxiety can happen, even if you're doing what you're good at, since it's mostly a fear or anticipation of something.

maybe you get shy by showing your passionate about something you love to do, it could embarrass you in some way

Failure. You love it, you're good at it, but you don't believe in yourself or that tiny bit of doubt in the back of your head makes you think you'll fail when indeed you won't. Believe.

Hope there is no grammar police this is just simple righting ..... I think most people that have anxiety choose to look for acceptance when it comes to something your good at I mean people tend to forget that just because your good at it and shine doesn't mean there's always that feeling inside knowing in the back of your head wow what happens when I do something wrong since I'm good at it will it be a big impact I've been asking myself lately is that the only reason why some people like me ? I just hope people look at me and know I'm good at something but still not good at a lot so talk and help .... Sorry everybody just thought people should look at it in a different perspective

because you want to do it as good as you can. you are pressuring yourself to be that ideal picture of yourself, that you have in your head. it's not bad though, but don't be too hard on yourself! you can make mistakes and you can learn. be confident in yourself, don't look at others. be your true self and don't be afraid of your own self expression. I had similar situation, when I was planning to participate to one photography festival, but I said no last minute just because I didn't believe in myself. looking back, I should've risked, because now I no longer have a chance to ne a part of that. so don't miss out anything!
