In my experience, nervousness just goes away spontaneously. As long as you're nervous, you just are. As long as you're not, you're not. (BTW, I'm currently at the stage where I could see the ridiculousness of a certain reason for me to be anxious, but the anxiety is still there.)

Hi @aja675
Yes I have been able to distance out from nervousness, but I do have fidget habits that let people on that I am highly anxious. Its pretty much with me all the time.

It's like this: I now know that my worry is pointless, but my subconscious mind still finds the worry to be worth it. I still vaguely feel fear and now I'm wondering when said fear will go away.

Is it still possible to speed up their going away?
