    I tend to notice at times, that there are specific signs that people have when they get nervous. Do you have any specific signs or reactions when you are nervous?

    For me when I am excited and nervous, i tend to have a random cough here and there, that comes out of nowhere. Other signs for me is why I press my tongue against my cheek in my mouth, as i get really nervous about something.

    I'll probably trip over my words, or not talk much at all. Sometimes I actually shake! I'm a baby.

    When I'm nervous I need to have my hands on something most of the time, like a table or the likes. Wringing my hands and chewing the inside of my mouth or bottom lip are also habits when I'm nervous.
    Shifting my feet, I guess? There're quite a lot of things I do, it depends mostly on the situation. If I'm standing or sitting, for example.
    A lot of the habits are things I do generally too. Maybe I'm always nervous? >V>;;
    Or maybe I never am <V<

    My eyes flicker around, i have a lot of Umms, and when i had a crush, struggled no's and yes's (since they were sitting next to me in science and i didn't want to be rude), and if asked if i was sure a too fast nod while i try to clench my face to keep from blushing. Alsohow i act when in awkward situations. Probably since i kind of panic when it's awkward as i don't know what to do (autism can be great for grades but makes awkward situations awkwarder).

    If I'm in a conversation and nervous, I'll either stay shut up or try really hard to change the focus from me. If I'm just nervous I'll try my hardest to divert my attention to something like wiggling my fingers. Also my face turns very blank and my eyes shoot around the room.

    When I'm really nervous, I tap my fingers and feet a lot. Also, I don't make direct eye contact with anybody.

    I'm very superb at containing my emotions, but I suppose one way of telling would be the tone pattern of my voice? Hard telling because I don't have an external perspective of myself.

    When i'm nervous I always look down at whatever is below my head, and sometimes I shake a little bit.

    Trembling, at a loss for words, fiddling with my glasses or clothes even if they're perfectly adjusted, shifting in place, searching for something to lean against or put my hands on to keep from stumbling, or even all of the above! If someone is being hurtful/making me uncomfortable, I might give them a really empty, glassy stare without blinking in an attempt to make them look away, but it hasn't worked yet.

    I personally get sweaty palms. It's quite irritating.

    I tend to ramble a bit, and not get my point across very well when explaining something. I'll also come down with a case of the twitches, where a part of my body like my hands or legs are continually moving/bouncing.

    I usually have a hard time not moving, but when I'm nervous it's impossible for me to keep still, I feel like it looks really awkward too xD I also start tripping over my words more than usual.

    For me, I smile and laugh uncontrollably. It's pretty awkward. My palms get sweaty, and trip over my words way too often. I sometimes lose breath as well. I'm not good at being nervous.

    It depends on what position I'm in. If I'm sitting, I'll bounce my leg and fiddle with my pencil or ring, or chew my fingernails if I'm not talking. When standing, like in front of a class, I'll be doing something with my friends, usually playing with the strings of my sweatshirt or my ring.

    When I'm nervous I tend to do one of these:
    • Rub my nose (no idea why)
    • Not speak
    • Trip over my words
    It's a struggle.

    Stumbling over words is the easiest way. If I'm nervous my brain just can't process the words I want to say :c

    If I'm not in a conversation and I'm standing up, I'll start pacing around in a figure 8 shape muttering to myself quietly. If I'm in a conversation, I shuffle my feet and sway a little. If I'm sitting down, I'll just be really fidgety and my legs sometimes shake up and down uncontrollably.

    I wouldn't say stumbling over words is a sign I'm nervous, because I do that anyway when I'm talking to anyone :P

    Yeah, one of my main signs of nervousness is starting to talk fast.. that's usually how I behave when I'm itching to finish up a presentation at school and the like. x~x I also tend to fumble over my words, like many other people, since my body gets hot from nervousness and that makes it hard to concentrate on speaking, haha.
