SilentOne answered Saturday July 30 2005, 6:37 am: I suppose the best way to tackle being nervous is to figure out why. It sounds very simplistic, but it's always the cause of things that people neglect to look at that seems to perpetuate most of their problems. Your question was very short, which means a lot of people will read it, but unfortunately not as specific as I would have liked. I'm not sure if you're nervous, or shy, or paranoid. I guess I'll go through all of them.
If you're just generally nervous, it's possibly because of something that happened to you during childhood, or perhaps you're just that kind of person. The best way to combat this is to try and confront the things that you are most nervous about under controlled circumstances where you feel safe. I'm not talking about taking drugs, or things that you have justification for being nervous about, if you get pressured about things like that, that are dangerous, by a peer group, tell them to go jump off a bridge. I'm sure some of them will envy you for it, even if they didn't have the guts to say no themselves. The biggest step in becoming less nervous is putting everything into perspective, and saying to yourself that there's nothing to be afraid of. If you're really stressed all of the time try a supplement like "St. John's Wort", it helps to balance things in your brain if there's something wrong, having a calming influence. If you're on anything like The Pill though, ask your doctor about interaction between medecine and supplements.
If you're shy, it's a long road. Some people can go straight from shy to social flowers. Unfortunately, for others it's a long process of getting more and more social. I know that, because I'm currently trying to become less shy myself. It's useful to plan things out in your head before they happen, or some people suggest actually practising in front of a mirror. It helps you react with less tension, or tongue tied-ness in situations that could be potentially embarrassing.
If you're paranoid, you could try things for nervousness, but I would generally recommend going to a medical professional. I know it's hard sometimes, because people find out and stuff. I'll tell you that it's a hell of a lot better being treated for things like that, than being afraid to go to a doctor. Psychiatrists are paid to help people get over things. They're not bad people, well, not all of them. If you ever find one you don't trust, don't stay.

dont be nervous ... just try and get your mindset into you only live once .
dmbabie answered Friday July 29 2005, 6:37 pm: well, first off.. just try to think about something that makes you feel good. think of all the good things around you and just think of what it will be like when you get this thing that you're nervous about over with. also, look at it this way.. what you're feeling nervous about, most likely someone felt nervous about it too, so just know that you're not alone, and you will get thru it. think of happy things and just try to relax.
