I Do the WEIRDEST Things When I'm Nervous

I do the WEIRDEST things when I'm nervous or embarrassed. And the funny things is, I just noticed I do these weird things today.

One of the weird things I do when I'm nervous or embarrassed is explode in an uncontrollable giggle. This is actually a very common habit among teens. I first noticed that I do this weird uncontrollable giggle burst when I was talking to a girl on my new soccer team (they are actually very intimidating). I've been trying to increase my "social status" on the team so I wouldn't be a loner (yup, that's right.. me... a LONER. Can you imagine?). So we were talking and she said something that was kinda funny, and I swear, I GIGGLED my heart out. And when I looked at her, she was staring at me like I needed serious help. Which I probably did at that moment.

Another weird thing I do when I'm embarrassed is yawn. I think I developed this habit in the past few months. I noticed this at school today when I delivering something to a class. The class was taking a test, and when I walked in, they ALL stared at me. And I found myself forcing a yawn for some reason. Maybe it was to show that I don't care that they're staring or something, I don't know. I hate being that kind of center of attention. Yes, there are different kinds of being the center of attention.

The next habit I have was picked up a few years ago. It's a very common habit. I have a major hand fidget problem. Yeah.. I do it all the time. ALL the time. If I feel just a little nervous or embarrassed, I feel my hands pulling together like magnets. And they stay that way for a while, until I can work up the guts to tell my hands "NO!".. or something. Don't ask...

Another habit I do when I'm nervous is put my finger behind my ear. This has to top off all the others, because it is so weird. I think I know how I developed it though. I used to fidget with my earrings, but since they're not always in my ears, I just started puting my hand behind my ear. It doesn't even do anything. I just put my hand behind my ear. Freaky, right? I think so.

Well, those things are just few of many things I do when I'm nervous or embarrassed. Seems like I'm embarrassed all the time these days, and that's probably why I noticed them. Life is hard when you're a teenager... Teenagers have it MUCH harder than adults these days. It's true.
