is it a good idea or a bad idea to show signs of nervousness?

Answer 1

If you are going on a date for the first time play it cool. If you do something silly like spill a drink or trip over a rug just tell the person you are on the date with "Sorry, I'm a bit nervous".

Answer 2

When it comes to getting a job, I've found that my nervousness has negatively affected the outcome. I've noticed the same thing when nervous interns come into work and getting a job. If you don't have a good idea at what you can do, you can't be confident in yourself, so nervousness is a sign of weakness. I think you can replace nervousness with confidence with enough practice. Confidence will make you strong and utimately look better.

Answer 3

Showing signs of nervousness is not an idea. It is natural.

Answer 4

its a bad idea to show signs of nervousness

Answer 5

Honestly both. First it depends on the person you show them to, and second it depends on how nervouse you seem, because showing a slight hint of nervousness can be cute, but if you show too much it can be a turn off....

Answer 6

I think no one consciously wants to show that they are nervous. Anxiety often takes over when you feel nervous: sweating, fidgeting, stuttering, etc...People tell me I seem nervous all the time. But other people might say I seem calm to them. To each is own. Everyone perceives things in their own way. It's all relative. I don't believe I've met one person who was completely calm over a situation that people would normally be nervous for/in...if they are, they are stoic and aloof-in this case, I'd rather show signs that I am actually *feeling* something, rather than sitting still and silent like a rock/brick wall. No one wants to be around an unfeeling/non-expressive person.

Answer 7

Don't act as if you have no nervousness at all, but don't make a huge deal out of it. Kind of just joke about it. Relieves some of the tension, so you'll end up being that much less nervous.

Answer 8

Nervousness radiates a sense of awkwardness and weakness. So if you generally don't want someone to want to get away from you then do you best not the be nervous. (Best way is to just get familiar with the situation.)
Almost all of the time it does not help in dating.

Answer 9

Mostly bad, It's a sign of weakness. People seem to like confident people. For example, you apply for a job, you think they'll hire a nervous person? I don't think theres a downside in being confident.

Answer 10

In front of a dog, your boss, or if you've done something wrong yes.

Otherwise, just say up front, I'm a little nervous, this is new to me.

Or go see your doctor if this is an anxiety problem and you have it all the time........there are medications that can help you in this area.

good luck.

honesty is best, and if you are worried, go talk to the doctor
