Question

Help. What are some detailed ways to describe nervousness. I have to write a narrative essay about overcoming some type of fear. I chose writing about getting over my fear of starting at a new school. So if anyone could help with detailed ways to describe how you feel on a first day at a new school, its super appreciated. Anything to do with the 5 senses, like sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste.

Answer 1

Stuttering / repeating yourself / lacking or missing words
quick/uneasy breathing
using or positioning your hands/arms/legs differently/ looking around quickly/without focus
paying attention to certain details, either relevant or not/ sweating

There’s a lot of different ways to describe nervousness but these are a couple of the ones I could think of
