It's something like secondhand embarassment, for example. You feel embarrassed for someone else so when something you could possibly get in trouble for comes up, you're nervous.
There could be underlying problems on your unconscious mind that you are not aware of. Or it may be a condition you have such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It is best to see a doctor or therapist to find that out.
Anxiety is usually the reason. Or caffeine can even cause it as well. A test the.next.day can do.it.as well.

A lot of people feel nervous and anxious without realizing it's reason. It might be something that's going on inside your head that you never consciously realized. But if it's getting in the way of your life, you might want to talk to someone.
It means that I a human and that life experience is something you can never get enough of :) Take that nervousness and turn it into something positive and life changing
Seems like something is affecting you without you realising it. When you catch yourself starting to feel nervous again try to analyze what happened, what changed that could have caused you to feel this way. Was there a noise? Did you think someone looked at you weirdly? ... It's your past that is making you feel this way, in general. Try to trace the things that happen right before you get nervous with things that seem similair and that have happened in your past, that has had some negative effect on you. It might ve sonething else. Either way to answer your question you have to explore what happens right before getting anxious.
It means you honestly have no idea why you're feeling the way you're feeling, you can't control the feelings that rise up and that's why you get nervous for no reason.
Sounds like anxiety or panic attacks, I struggle with this myself. Try meditating or doing breathing techniques when you feel this way. But, if it gets out of hand or you feel it is uncontrollable and is affecting your daily life, I suggest you connect to a therapist for counseling.

Getting nervous is a normal thing. However it can be a sign of anxiety. You can always talk to someone that has experience coping with anxiety.
It may mean you're experiencing some anxiety about something going on in your life. The trick is to identify it.
You may have anxiety. If it's happening frequently, talk to a counseller about it or someone you trust :).
It might be anxiety that you're feeling. Sometimes when you shake or you heart beats fast like that it may be an anxiety attack.
You need to chill. Generally. Take some rest. Forget stress. Be more with friends, party hard and think positiv.
It could mean you have anxiety about something. There's never not a reason for any of your actions, each one has a reason no matter how minute or small it may seem. Maybe this will help you understand what triggers your nerves or anxiety so you can learn and maybe avoid what's making you this way.
For me it usually means I need to check in with myself. Something around me is making me feel uncomfortable or unsafe. By taking some deep, rhythmic breaths and paying attention to my different senses (smell, touch, etc.), I can calm myself and figure out what's bothering me.

It means you need to sit down, untangle your thoughts and whatever's bothering you and talk to someone about it before moving on

I'm not going to jump to conclusions, but you may be feeling symptoms of anxiety, or you had something happen just a while ago that made you nervous--like an aftershock.
Getting nervous for no reason is called free floating anxiety. This can happen for many reasons. Including an up coming event you forgot about, a dream you had. Or a past experience. There are lots of kinds of Anxiety. Everyone has different symptoms. So you never know. But when this happens. Jus try to calm down as much as possible. Use a coping mechanism.
To get nervous for no reason is to situation in which your body feels threatened. It can make you feel very negatively about yourself, but it is best to remember that it is normal to react with fear to potential threats, and that we must learn and grow comfortable with that stimulus.
For me, it would mean that I have far too many things on my mind and I am doing too much. It would mean that, for me, I have forgotten to think about myself, and give myself the necessary time to relax and unwind. It would be a massive warning sign that I'm beginning to burn myself out.
It could be a lack of stimulation of the senses. A way to narrow the field of causes is to do something for yourself or others that doesn't take a hero to perform.

You may have an anxiety disorder. This is tiggered by many things or for no reason at all, it depends on the person. To learn more about it, look only or chat with a listener!
You may have social anxiety, or severe anxiety. The best thing to do at that point is to seek help. It'll make you feel better.

This could be a sign of general anxiety, or even stress. You would have to see a doctor to find out for sure.
You are highly worried without any rational reason and are likely insecure at an intrinsic level to feel unprovoked nervousness.
