Anxiety causes us to feel nervous for what seems like no reason at all. Take time to evaluate your situation and surroundings.
It could be that you really have a reason, but don´t think it´s a good enough reason for you to feel anxious about it.
You may not feel like there is one big reason that you are feeling nervous but there could be lots of little reasons for what is happening for you at the moment. Your body may be trying to tell you something, like maybe your working your body too hard at the moment, or there may be an underlying cause of stress you haven't fully addressed.
Being nervous for no apparent reason can be down to a range of reasons. One being anxiety. Anxiety is a disorder were the person with the disorder can be constantly worried, anxious and nervous about small situations. This can lead to anxiety attacks and a lack of confidence to do things.
We all get nervous sometimes, it's a way for our body to allow us to be ready for challenging situations. If you are nervous all the time, you could be suffering from anxiety. There is nothing wrong with this, and there are lots of things you can do to help, like therapy, meditation and being kind to yourself. There are some really good resources on 7cups, and on the internet.

Thats' probably anxiety. You may find yourself suddenly nervous in certain situations or if it seems completely for no reason, it might be a build up of repressed anxiety which has suddenly been released.

If you feel nervous perhaps there are fears or worries that may be bothering you. Try to calm down. Take a deep breath.

Because sometimes I'm unaware of what my emotions are doing. So i get nervous about the future. Nervous about becoming bad again eithout realising that's what it is.
It could be that you need to talk to a doctor. Maybe be an underline cause for it all. It may be nothing, but it could be something. I would rather know for sure. If I were you.
We all think every problem is big, always with to be better than others, think more about future and even plan about consequences which are less likely to happen, we do action first and then think about we did right or not, so all this things together makes us always feel nervous for no reasons, worrying about everything!
you are just being anxious... you need to calm yourself.... whenever you feel like that drink a glass of water, else i would suggest to visit a therapist
I'm not sure what's going on in your life but sometimes nervousness is a symptom of anxiety or panic disorder! If the nervousness is bothersome maybe you should consult your Dr. and see how they may help you! They are more qualified in that area! Until then try to laugh more and stress less!
It is possible that there are underlying issues that your conscious is not focusing on. May something there is something fearful that you have repressed.

It could be that you have anxiety. That's one of the most common things associated with it. I know because I have the same thing. But the best thing you can do is talk to your doctor because your doctor might be able to better help you figure it out.
Cause my nerves start betraying me that time. Usually I try my best to control them but the moment they take the control... I become nervous

Because something is bothering us. Even though it seems as if nothing has happened, there is something we want to do or overcome and our past or fear is stopping. Us

You could be diagnosed with anxiety. Do you have problems when facing crowds? Doing new things? These are signs of anxiety, you should see your doctor about it.
If you are nervous, know that it is not for no reason. Something is causing this feeling, even though you might in your mind think/know that it should not cause nervousness. Anxiety could be causing this.
There probably is a reason and you don't know it because it's either part of your physical makeup (there are upwards of 3 trillion nerves in the body) or because you have stress or anxiety buildup from little things that you have pushed to your subconscious. Please make sure you are physically healthy, and if so, try to understand the components of anxiety. Our self-help guides are great for that!
Nervousness can be tricky like that, because it may come and go for no reason at all. If there's nothing to be nervous about but you still feel worried, try to focus on something to let the nervoussness fade away with time, or just distract yourself in any way possible.

Anxiety can be developed by a mix of biological and psycological factors. It always helps to understand what situations make you nervous and why do you consider them a potential threat. If you are able to remove the threatening feeling around that situation you will no longer be nervous about it.
It could be something as deep as a traumatic event deep in your unconscious, or it could just be high blood pressure! Have you tried meditation, breathing techniques, music? Do that.
Being nervous or panicked sounds to me like anxiety, and there is lots of help to get for that. For example, you can try the Self-Help Guides and Mindfulness Exercises under "Path" on this website.

This is a very good question. Maybe there is a reason. Perhaps subconsciously your are dwelling on things which create tension but you have done so for so long that you are no longer conscious of doing so. Take deep breaths and do something which engages you, whether it's listening to music, playing an instrument or better still chatting with another and taking your mind off what's ailing you. Another school of thought would be to sit with your nervousness and continue to take deep breaths and reassure yourself that you are safe and that you're going to be alright.
There is usually a reason. Perhaps you are nervous because you know the people or situations around you are capable of becoming problematic, even though they aren't immediately doing something now.
It is possible you are being gaslighted. Please look up the definition of gaslighting.
Another possibility is that you have unhealthy diet or chemicals in your brain, although I usually believe that the more likely cause of distress is psychological, and not biological.
It is possible you had a stressful past, and you are used to being nervous, even though the cause of the nervousness has going away. Perhaps addressing this with a counselor could help it stop.

I asked myself so often growing up. I was nervous all the time for no particular reason. My mind would come up with things to be afraid of - people on the street, failing exams, making a fool of myself, and the list goes on. Talking about it with my therapist over the years, I learned that I was hyper vigilant and had built up so many walls trying to protect myself. Once I started to break those walls down, my anxiety started to reduce.
There is a reason, but you probably don't know it yet. Our mind analyses the situations we experience and the thoughts we have based on our believes, our life guidelines our past experiences and some automatic judgments happen in our mind even without having notice of them. This activates the amygdala which is the brain part responsible for fear.
