This happens when you are nervous! I swear it does!



The topic of this arbitrary post was essentially suggested by the ex-boss (Hi, Sudish!!) One of the very-very few people I've come across who believes in recounting the 'routine' (happens-to-all kind of stuff)

Nervousness & its coded mannerisms!

There are signs that bail out on your nervousness at public spots. In case you are a pro' at the same, you get away by sailing through.
My personal favourite is the 'Mobile Phone'. Being the overtly self-conscious person that I usually am, I resort to my dear mobile phone, in case of avoiding people/situations.

Let's list some very common incidents that tend to make you nervous/edgy/conscious (a bit may be)

1) When at a party and you've stepped in without company.
2) First day at work (or maybe a few weeks).
3) Entered a group discussion (wherein the groupies are strangers to you).
4) Being the third person between a two-people fantasy fight.
5) Desperately awaiting someone's arrival at a restaurant/garden/lane/general store.
6) Passing a bunch of guys who are busy invading your privacy (you know what I mean).
7) When you've slipped and tripped on a staircase. (People are looking, remember?)
8) When you're trying to find a rick and the oldies nearby smirk at your 'efforts-in-vain' situation.
9) (Only for the feminine race) In case you are buying smokes.
10) When you ask for Sanitary Napkins, and exactly 3 men stare into your eyes. (This is true)
11) When you try to avoid confrontation with that one person you are awkward around or
intimidated by. (But your friend doesn't)
12) When you've mispronounced a word and get corrected in public.
13) Whilst a discussion and you seem unaware of the topic in question. (Joey nod?)
 
And now, moving to the coded mannerism:

1) Your PHONE. Make a quick call / text someone. (Continuing it till the moment has passed)
2) Rubbing your sweating palms and twitching fingers.
3) Nail-biting. (It's said to be a very feminine thing). Very sorry, it's not!
4) Dig out a book if in a public transport.
5) Put on the head-phones. (Definitely makes you invisible)
6) Clutch on to the hand-bag/satchel (Indiana Jones just went derp)
7) Pretend to look for something in the bag.
7) Get conscious about your attire.
8) Enter the near-by general-stores & move out when composed!

Yes. These are true. These happen to all (I'll take my chances here)
Feel free to update new ones, if you've known any.
