What Makes You Nervous?

Job interviews. They make me nervous cause I feel a strong need to impress. Which is hard for me because I don't know how to show I'm qualified. Not very good with making myself look good, sure I have good qualities. I just don't really know them.
 
interviews, public speaking, sometimes ordering food, going out alone, bugs, sometimes just walking because it feels like people are watching me and I start to think I'm just walking weirdly? which then causes me to start walking weirdly lol

lately I'm not sure why but I try to relax and go to sleep but I start feeling nervous? like my heart will beat faster than usual and I just can't calm down so I have to distract myself with something. It's been happening a lot lately and I'm not sure why.

Making important phone calls/appointments. I get so anxious I usually try to have my bf make my appointments lol.
Driving, especially when other cars are passing me. I've had to pull over from panic attacks several times.
Going somewhere alone
When a car slows down or honks at me when they drive past me while I'm walking. (The other day a man went as far as to put his car in reverse and follow me backwards, it was terrifying)
 
When I was at school, getting asked to answer a question I didn't know in front of the class made me so nervous I could have cried. it didn't help that my face used to turn bright red as well.
 
hear me out- dinosaurs. seeing them just freaks me tf out, those teeth and screeches... i saw jurassic world and had to leave cause it was scaring me so bad. i can watch horror movies but stuff like jaws too? no! teeth scare me. they make me sweat
other than that, myself in general. im afraid im gonna say something weird 24/7
 
A bunch of "humans" eyeballin' me while telepathically speaking gibberish to me. Also, some deformed stranger walking up to me while alone in a desolate parking lot late at night and then asking me if I want to buy some sharp knives off of him.
 
The unknown makes me nervous. I don’t like when people call and say they need to talk, but they don’t tell you what it is or they’re very vague. It just makes me really anxious not knowing what is going on.
 
So much makes me nervous; I have severe anxiety. I get nervous when I make tweets on twitter or even when I post here; I was nervous about posting my art (still am a little). I get nervous about leaving the house. I get neevous when something I am not looking forward to comes up like counseling oe anything really. I’m nervous about eventually having to move (and dreading it). I get nervous when my one cat goes into deep sleep since she is 20 and I am scared of losing her. So many other things as well.
 
People, the future, public speaking, leaving the house, appointments with doctors, eating, probably lots of other things too
 
  • Dates
  • Tattoos
  • Public speaking
All three of these will result in insomnia in the days leading up to the event and a high chance of needing to pop Imodium on the day.

Due to an anxiety disorder, I get intense feelings of nervousness for no reason. I could be sitting in bed and suddenly it's like there's a present threat.
 
Somewhat of a neutral response, but: uncertainty/waiting. e.g.: where I have to wait for the results of something or I'm waiting to hear from someone I'm expecting to. The longer I'm waiting (especially in cases where there was a specific time), the more likely I am to go into a nervous panic and put ideas into my head that doesn't need to be there.
 
Everything seems to make me nervous lately, even every day tasks like work and driving. I think the pandemic amped up my endless anxiety. Also going to the bank and opening unknown mail has always made me nervous. Anything could happen lmao
 
- Large groups of people
- teenagers, especially those that are gossiping or pointing their phones at me.
- aggressive drivers
- loud vehicles

That’s all I can think of off the top of my head.
 
loud noises, I was painting my nails and a super loud balloon popped and then after that I started getting really overwhelmed and nervous, and I notice whenever it's really loud I do tend to get nervous and tense so yea when things are loud
 
I have to always force myself to be positive and then try to act like everything is fine, when its not fine and then I just feel like I'm suffering in the inside, just so I would not try to ruin anyone's day. I really hate bottling up my emotions, but I just can't help it when I've been told in the past to "Fix your face" so many times by my parents and teachers.
