Why do we get nervous? A lot of people would love to know this answer and, especially, how to stop it from happening. You probably already asked this to yourself before that first big date with that girl or boy you like so much. Well, being nervous is an emotional reaction to a stressful or uncomfortable situation. We all tend to get nervous in new and challenging situations and some of us even suffer from anxiety disorders and get insecure.
The culprit is the nervous system, the emotional centre of our body that receives, interprets and responds to environmental stimulation, controlling actions like muscle tension, breathing and heartbeat. When we get nervous, our nervous system is shaken down. You can start suffering from chills, headache, tremors, sweaty hands, dry mouth and difficulty in concentrating. Soon, all the nervousness interferes with your ability to perform everyday tasks and, here is where it gets interesting, maintain personal relationships. That is why our latest infographic focuses on the possible solutions for the crushing nerves caused by dating. Did you know there are several options to help tone these nerves down?
