I had to play the guitar in front of a handful of people and I was extremely nervous.
I was so nervous that I didn't even notice myself frantically pulling my ear,
until my friend asked:

Friend: "Why do you do that?"
Me: "What?"
Friend: "That thing with your ear. It's so weird."
Me: o.O
Friend: "You're always touching your ears when you're nervous. It's weird. It kind of grosses me out."
Me.

I don't ever notice myself doing these things until someone points it out xD
So I was just curious what are your "special habits" when it comes to being nervous, embarrassed, or scared.
I'm seriously hoping I'm not the only one with these strange habits.

These are mine:

When I'm...

Nervous: I have this horrible habit of pulling and rubbing my ears.
Embarrassed: I tend to rub my cheeks and pinch my chin.
Scared: I do all of the above LOL. But I do it in a faster pace all at once!

Why?: I don't know why I touch my face when I'm embarrassed but I do know that when I was little my Mom would always rub my ears when I was nervous. I guess it's comforting? Strange I know.

Nervous: Hand shakes, and I tend to repeat my last sentences.
Scared: I tend to avoid watching scary thing by pretending to do something important.

[onino]

I can't stand still when I'm nervous or
I start laughing when I'm scared, especially when it's something abt ghost or something...
and i start to Shake too!...

[xdanbi]

Nervous: I tap my feet really fast. >_> It looks like I'm tap dancing.
Embarassed: It depends, if I made a mistake then I usually just laugh or smile, but if someone else did something so embarassing that I feel it too I usually cover my mouth and look the other way.
Scared: lol... not the type to get scared by anything, but if I'm suprised by something I usually just take a couple steps back and rethink what I just saw.

[yani*]

nervous: start shaking my leg, smile a lot
embarassed: I turn red and have a stupid, awkward smile on my face
scared: scream, close my eyes, hide behind someone/something

[Maipcrkiyl]

Nervous: I get really mean and grumpy over the stupidest things.
Embarrassed: "Yea, yea..." I say that a lot.
Scared: "OMG. Dude, no."

[kpop_yo]

I'll just stand there and stare at people or
I can feel my heart beating and say to myself that
I must overcome this.

[Supremacy]

Nervous:Talk kinda faster than usual, and tap feet, like im impatient
Embarrassed:My ears turn red, and i get kinda shy
Scared:nothing really scared me since 4th grade

[c i n d y]

nervous - I shake...I would get stomach aches when I'm nervous. Ugh
scared - I hide my face/close my eyes
embarrassed - I try to laugh or smile it off...and change the subject

[-aimeex]

Nervous: I stutter and become clumsy
Embarrassed: i blush like crazy and play with my hair
Scared: i squeal and flap my hands as if i am trying to fly away

Why?: because that's how i react to being nervous, embarrassed and scared. i don't know

[sushisimo]

when nervous, scared.... my palms starts sweating like crrrazzzzzzzy.. like it would be completely wet..

but i have clammy hands regularly..

[cheerydumdum]

nervous: bite my lips, touch my face(wen i talk to someone and feel awkward cuz they're looking at me)
embarrassed: hide my face, cover my face with my hands, turn red, grab my cheeks
scared: hmm..depends on wut im scared of...like if im alone in a creepy place, i keep looking over my shoulder and all around me. if someone surprises me, i jump or i suddenly turn stiff.

[CaramelSweetie]

nervous: shaking if I'm sitting. I think I turn cold sometimes.
embarrassed: I turn red red red red
scared: I grip onto people. -__-

[jeffword]

Nervous: I rub my peach fuzz LOL
Embarassed: I try to laugh and cover it up, but mostly I put my hands on my face xD
Scared: I stay quiet...

[Fluorii]

When I'm embarrassed, I pretty much start crying. Most embarrassing thing in the world.

When nervous, I tend to get all jittery and my voice gets high. I tend to start making really weird hand gestures at this point.

And when scared, I get really dizzy or lock up. This makes dealing with heights sorta dangerous.

[ladee_bug]

I make faces. For everything.
It's like I wince and my face goes all distorted lol

[manngjung]

my habit when im nervous.
i play around with things.
lol
like if i have a backpack on i would like get the tail part thing and play around with it.
or
movie my hands or fingers a lot.
minda weird but yeah.

embaraaessed.
hmm
if iw ere to fall in front of people. because someone puhed me i would laugh along, but if i was embarrased badly i would just freeze up and yeah.

[Ching Ching]

Nervous: Run my fingers through/play with my hair.

Embarrassed: I slap myself. I'm not kidding.

Scared: I use profanity. :C Only when I'm dead-scared though.
It's comforting because I tend to say funny things without knowing it.

[kisstherain_]

Nervous: I bite my nails and lips. I used to do this every minute when I was younger, even if I'm not nervous. But I naturally got rid of this habit because my mom wasn't happy with it... but I still bite my nails and lips only when I'm nervous. I fidget on my seat alot too.
Embarrassed: Change the subject or ask something really random like, "do you know what time it is by the way?" or "I feel like eating ice-cream, you?" and everything fades away naturally. XD I'm really good at changing subjects I don't like, so it isn't anything hard when it gets to this kind of point, ahaha.
Scared: I do the same thing when I'm nervous. :9

[xSTEPHOO]

Nervous: I run my fingers through my hair.

Embarrassed: I stutter like an idoit.

Scared: I swear a lot either out loud or in my mind.
