No...I pace back and forth

No, I kind of shake when I'm nervous. I smile any other time though:)
-
I smile all the time even when I am pi**,uh upset.
-
no, I talk too much when I get nervous.
-
No I grit my teeth.
-
Yes all the time.

-
Roaring I like the irony of your name. And that would describe me as well(and everyone else for that matter)

Why do you think I have this avatar?
-
No, but others get nervous.
-
No. Where is the question of smiling when my faculties freeze when I become nervous. It takes time to compose myself thinking for alternative to escape from the situation.
-
Hey Donor, this is a good question! I smile when I first meet people just to let them know that I'm open for easy communication. However, when I get nervous, I tend to gaze around alot and stare at far-off things.
-
I think that is a pretty normal reaction
-
I yawn
-
No, not at all. I play with my fingers or finger nails. Perhaps if i was on a first date and i was nervous i'd laugh and tell bad jokes, thats what i do sometimes too
-
When i'm nervous, I speak to a point where you'd think my voice was like a racecar. Also, when I give presentations, I feel as though i'm staring at the same person throughout the presentation. I don't believe many people smile when they're nervous, maybe a couple, but most have my symptoms, grit their teeth, and sway their body back and fourth.
-
I guess I do but that smile is like pink panther's
-
I smile and my mouth runs of at a million miles per hour! I gush!!! I repeat myself, several times. I make silly comments and jokes. Funnily enough, standing in front of a large crowd and giving a presentation does not make me nervous.
-
Yes! Also when I have no idea what's going on... Smile and nod... it's my signature move!
-
all the time. i smile in every situation i think. its my poker face . . . lol.
-
Nope. I can't smile when I'm nervous. I bite my lip, instead.
-
SHOOT! That explains the hole in my wall. Thanks! I'll have to remember not to smile when I'm nervous Greenbean
-
That depends on what I'm nervous about. If I'm nervous about meeting someone, then yes, I smile, but if I'm waiting for possible bad news, then I tremble..
-
Always...if it's really bad like I'm in trouble or something, I tend to laugh. I just realized my 5 year old daughter does the same
-
I play with my hair whenever I get nervous. {It happens often)
-
I smile all the time..makes people wonder about you.
-
Oh no. I bite my finger nails! =x
-
I smile most of the time so either Im am really nervous all the time or just happy... I think its the latter, see.... :-)
-
No I don't think so! But I know some people who laugh when they are nervous...that gets me upset ! :)
-
Nope
-
No. I'm apt to not have any expression at all.
-
i giggle. uncontrollably.
-
omg yes. i just can't help it. & then my voice, it gets all high ptiched & i just sound lik im 7 year old again. it's not fun.
-
Sometimes I do, even laugh nervously, too.
-
No, I just wet myself. And sometimes faint.
-
Im usually smiling so I dont think being nervous makes me smile any more than usual
-
depending on what it is all about. if i do bad then know that am not going to smile i'l just keep a straight face
-
ABSOLUTLY i smile but it is so annoying cuz i smile mad hard and wen im nervous because of a girl sometimes i smile so hard i look chienece REALLY
-
Yes, often and the smile is often misunderstood to mean something else. One time in Jr High my history teacher was yelling at me for not completing a project. When I smiled she threw a textbook at me and said "Get the hell out of my class". The next day she apologized profusely to me(guess she realized she could get into a lot trouble for her reaction)
-
I don't think so, but smiling does suppress the gag reflex, so I guess that's a good thing, right?
-
No, I talk too much when I get nervous.
-
I try to hide being nervous.
-
I've seen videos of people doing it in court during their sentencing and they end up with more time tacked onto it. 😆
-
I try to put on a happy face.
