Nervousness around strangers happens because your brain thinks it's meeting something unfamiliar, like a new friend or maybe even a danger. It starts reacting, making you feel a little shaky and excited, just like when you first go to a new school.
Examples
- You feel nervous when meeting someone new at school.
- Your heart beats faster when you're introduced to a new classmate.
- You get shaky before giving a speech in front of strangers.
