This is somewhat common reaction with shyness. I'm reading a book on shyness. Some people have physical things that bother them, like shaking, blushing, or sweating. There are drugs that can alleviate these problems. At least, somewhat. You'd still sweat, given that it is needed for internal temperature control.

Have you read about any drugs in particular that can help these symptoms? I especially tend to sweat a lot when I'm nervous. I've been on Zoloft, Effexor, and Paxil over the years but they just seemed to make things worse (sweating is a side-effect of those meds.).

Is my post the first in this thread? It looks like I made a response to another post. Is this a forum error? Have you read about any drugs in particular that can help these symptoms? I especially tend to sweat a lot when I'm nervous. I've been on Zoloft, Effexor, and Paxil over the years but they just seemed to make things worse (sweating is a side-effect of those meds.). No, but I think they were prescription, so you'd have to ask a doctor about them anyway.

I get this nervous twitch whenever i'm really anxious.. trying to hold still only seems to make it worse. It seems to center around the muscles of my neck and shoulders.

I get this nervous twitch whenever i'm really anxious.. trying to hold still only seems to make it worse. It seems to center around the muscles of my neck and shoulders. "Fighting" anxiety doesn't work--it just gets you anxious about the anxiety as well as whatever the original thing was. The best things to do are thinking of other things to relax you. I meditate regularly, which helps me be more generally relaxed. I use things I do when meditating to help me relax at other times, as well. These including focusing on breathing regularly. And, running these beads through my fingers. The beads show up in lots of religions(Hinduism, Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam). In the 60's/70's(?) there were "worry beads". It's because they are effective at relaxing.

What exactly do the beads help with. Do they make you forget your hands? I never know what to do with them, I nervously fiddle with my fingers or pens - sometimes to the demise of the pen . Is that the main purpose of the beads?

Whoever had the sweating problem (it appears that the original post was cut off or deleted): I recommend that you visit www.esfbchannel.com. I visit that site all the time because I have a blushing problem. (Physiologically, blushing and sweating are related, but I don't sweat. I guess I make up for it in blushing!) Anyway, there is a sweating forum on that website where people discuss different treatments. You might want to check it out. As for the beads, Jarous, it is the repetition (chanting, etc.) that induces relaxation/trance/religious experience and all those good things. Repetition is a common feature of religious rituals for that reason. I imagine they help with "keeping busy," too, though. Personally, I am *constantly* moving and fidgeting. When I sit down, my leg shakes about a mile a minute. It takes *extreme* concentration for me to stop this.

Apparently, doing things with the thumb and forefinger have significant effects, too. The Sensei of my group said it is suspected to be related to something old, like picking lice off our ancestors' heads. I've been holding my thumb to my forefinger during meditation lately because of this, as well.

How interesting - I've never heard that before. I know that meditation technique, too, but I just figured its origins were in some sort of yogic position or something. Lice, huh? I guess our esoteric religious practices often have more humble beginnings...
