by increasing your self confidence

To ease your nervousness, think about something that relaxes you like a tropical beach.\nTo wow the interviewer, I would have as much confidence in getting the job as possible.  Show the interviewer how good you are certain skills and qualifications.  Try not to brag though and overdo it.  Always have a positive attitude towards things.  Make it seem like they will be pleased with your attitude.\nI am also job seeking and I try to use those techniques.

it'd be a difficult task for anyone if they had to refrain from speaking to people about things at any given moment but even the best known speakers in the world had a time when they were nervous.  Since there is no way to avoid this here is what I suggest:\n\nFIrst start reading your presentation out loud to yourself, to get familar with your content the biggest fear you are likely to have is not saying the word right or stumbling and looking foolish which you don't want.  Then practice in front of a mirror, then family, then close friends.  When the time to go up to speak, take several deep breaths and plan your walk to the podium, this seems like something someone should know but when you only have it in your mind to walk up to the podium and speak people don't watch were they are going and sometimes bump into something around the area and that can be a bit embarassing.  Just remember it's just a report, speak well, let your eyes wander around the room and be cool:)

ptoms of shyness\nblushing \nheart pounding \n"butterflies" in the stomach \nstrong feelings of uncertainty \ndifficulty carrying on a conversation \nPossible causes of shyness\nlack of confidence (ok... that's too obvious) \ninferiority complex (you are a creature of GOD, why would god discriminate in his creatures? think about it... and stop feeling inferior) \nyour thinking pattern (of negative thoughts, so fear creeps in, and your subconscious mind reacts according to that) \nlack of knowledge about the expected behavior in social situations \nsometimes, its based upon your previous experiences \nFirst of all you will need to learn how to relax. Shy people often get anxious or "tensed" in social situations. When I say "tensed" I literally mean it. In social situations, where you feel shy; you get tensed up, your muscles tighten, all of your body literally builds tension (like if we stretch a rope). All you have to do is to loosen yourself. Anxiety Cure\n\nThis may help:\n\nEvery night before sleeping lie down on your back. I will recommend removing the pillow. Put your hands beside your body (so that they point to the feet). Now take some deep breaths. Say to yourself my body is getting relaxed. Imagine all of your body parts going into the state of ultimate relaxation one by one. Start from head to toe. Imagine all the tension in your muscles is getting out from your body through the fingers of your hand. Finally all of your body is completely relaxed and you are experiencing ULTIMATE RELAXATION. At this time imagine a golden light which is giving you infinite power to help you succeed in every aspect of the life. This way you will get a very sound sleep also. \n\nNow again coming back to social situations... if you start getting tensed... just say to yourself "RELAX" and imagine all the tension easing out from your body (as you do while sleeping). Ease your shoulders and loosen up. You will be more calm and cool then. Now say affirmatively to yourself: "I am in control of how I think and feel - no one else on earth has this power unless I give it away." And this is a FACT. In this way, take control of your attitude, and you will take control of your results.\n\nNow the technical stuff explaining why the muscles get tensed\n\nWhat happens in our bodies when we are under threat. It's very much chemistry. When subjected to a threat or fear, such as real conflict, your body will release chemicals to help you fight with the situation. These will affect your body and mind in certain specific ways. Your heart beat will increase. You start loosing control over your tongue. You no longer remain who you actually are. Your mind stops working and you know what to say. \n\nThe SOLUTION - How to loose fear?\n1. Let me make it clear... FEARS HAVE NO REALITY (yes, I am shouting). They doesn't simply exist. They exist only in one's mind. I will make it clear. A small child can be paralyzed with fear when a playmate says there is a monster under the bed who will grab him in the night. But when the parent turns on the light and shows there is no monster, he is freed from fear. The fear in the mind of the child was every bit as real as if there were really a monster there. The thing he feared did not exist. In the same way, most of our fears have no reality. They are merely illusions. \n\nMost of the fears exist more from PROGRAMMING than from reality.\n\nOk... let me tell you an another story when I was young (say, 15 years old). I didn't know driving. I had a fear in my mind that I can not drive and will not able to drive for my entire life. I really feared driving. But, then I started to learn driving. I used to drive very slowly, fearfully. But gradually, I learnt to drive perfectly and all of my fear was gone. And now I can drive as rashly as you can imagine without any troubles or fear. So what we learnt from this? What we learnt is that... we should face the fears

Just relax and realize that if you can't get over being so nervous, how are you going to get to know that person? Oh, and remember to breathe...focus in on it, and that will help the anxiety.

Biting your nails is a nervous bad habit.  Try polishing your nails to make them more noticible to you before they reach your mouth.  Replace this bad habit with a good one.  For example, chewing on celery, baby carrots, or sugar-free gum.  Try keeping your hands busy with something you find relaxing, like drawing or knitting.  Exercise is the best way to get rid of nervous energy: swim, ride a bike, walk briskly, dance, skate, ski.  Share some time with a friend.  You CAN do it! Best to you.

Some nervousness is natural.  It keeps us on our toes!  As hard as it sounds to do, try to relax and be yourself.  Everything will work out fine.

you may wish to start exercising, (like walking, aerobics, etc) it helps with the nervousness and empty feeling. \n\nalso eat things like carrots, celery, apples, i.e. things that are crunchy.  so when you shop with the parents ask them to buy those type of fruits and vegetables, they should last a long time in the fridge and dont cost much. look through the produce section of the market.  \n\nif that doesnt help, you can try sugarless gum, \nknitting or writing or some other hobby to do with your hands.  good luck

Take a deep breath....\nNow, Go into the interview with the idea that you'll get the job or not. Whatever. It's just a job. Be polite but not needy and desperate.\nIf you keep in mind that it's just a job and not that life changing an event you wont come off as so nervous and you'll seem more relaxed.\nAlso, tell the person interviewing you that you're a little nervous. that way there is an explanation for any mistakes you make.\nGood luck.

Instead of medicine, try some simple natural ways.\n\n1. Go in front of mirror, and start dancing. Anyway you feel. You will start laughing loudly. You anxiety will run away.\n\n2. When ever you fell an anxiety attack, instead of avoiding it, learn to stay with it.\n\n\n3. If its beyond control, try some Yogic exercise,  Ayurvedic medicine, or flower remedy.

It's a nervous habit.

Are you nervous?? I used to do that whenever I was anxious or nervous about something. I would catch myself doing it and eventually I stopped. You just have to make a conscious effort not to do it.

I am exactly the same. I don't think there is a cure, though. We just have to control ourselves from inside. Try deep breathing and talk to yourself. Tell yourself its OK and its just nerves. \nIt might help you. It helps me at times.
