How do I stop getting nervous about situations that are no big deal?

Do it more often and accept being nervous/making a fool out of yourself. It will make the situations feel more familiar.

Why do you get nervous? There’s gotta be something going on in your head.

I had the same problem. Just do it more and realize that you do not face certain death in ANY of these situations and there’s no reason to be nervous.

Do more cardio. I get the same shit, especially when at work talking to certain patients. I have learned to embrace it and see it as the fight response in fight or flight. It is the same instinct I feel when lifting heavy or finishing a good set with a godly pump.

View it as your warrior instinct to fight. Get more exposure and gradually this "fear" will subside. If you're of a similar disposition to me, then it will never go away. Just incorporate it as a tool to your life.

Probably because you have not been socialising as much. Loss of confidence.

Honestly, I’ve found taking a shit before anything which makes you nervous helps. Just releases all tensions.

Read how to win friends and influence people. Fear comes from not knowing.

Do you do drugs?

Are you physically strong?

Outcome independence. Also, practice being in those situations that make you nervous. Also, if you've never fucked anything up from getting too nervous this is not a big deal.

Read up on stoic exercises and put it into perspective. Will this matter in a week?year?10 years?
