Nervousness

Postby Celeith » Sun Feb 3, '08, 4:30 am

Most of the time we cannot help but be nervous about things. Most of the times we do things like bite our nails or pace or just something.. I hate to say it but sometimes when I'm nervous I'll bite my nails.. I'm trying to break the habit and I've gone a few weeks without doing it, hopfully i'll get my nails back soon ><

I've never bitten my nails when I get nervous. I'll usually feel feel butterflies in my stomach, so to speak.

I have that habit too, and I'd love to break it. I'm...sort of making progress. But I have to keep my nails short anyway because I play bass guitar, and snapping your nail off on one of those strings hurts!

I never bite my nails in nervousness, only hunger, and I pace, but only because I don't like sitting very much.
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

I never had the nail biting thing. I tend to fidget when I get nervous. Like, scratch my head or rub my arm or that sort of thing.

I don't bite my nails either. Never have. I guess the trait I have would also be butterflies in the stomach, or something like that. Never really thought about it.

The nail-biting thing was a serious problem for me when I was much younger, I would often bite at them and tear at them with my teeth until they bled, which was quite painful. For some reason the habit just kinda disappeared with age. Now I just get a very sick-feeling in my stomach, which I guess you could call butterflies.

I pace, or walk the floor, a lot. Walking seems to help and i can't sit or stand still at a time like that.
